Abstract
Floods are a type of "natural disaster" resignified in the current context of climate change. The approach to it has multiple edges both from a technical / scientific aspect as well as to establish competencies / responsibilities and actions of the different instances that the National Constitution determines. This work is developed within the framework of a Technological and Social Development Project (PDTS) between UNTREF and the Government of the Province of Tucumán and its general objective is to establish a methodology and analyze the flooded regions in the lower basin of the Marapa River, in the south of Tucumán, evaluating the possible contribution of heavy metals (PM), providing tools for climate change discussions where the government measures to be followed will be defined.
The results of partial objectives of the framework project are shown. In particular, the methodology for determining the environmental baseline of the soil is developed and its importance is discussed, since it will function as a reference for all subsequent analysis. The aspects of the first experimental campaign, sampling methodology, characterization techniques are also described, and preliminary results are discussed.
