Soil hydrologcal processes determine how precipitation is partitioned into infiltration, runoff, evapotranspiration, and ground water recharge in the upper Río Chagres basin. The focus of this study is to investigate the soil hydrological processes by which precipitation excess on first order drainage basins enters the streams feeding the upper Río Chagres and its major tributary rivers. Infiltration rates, water retention curves, and water repellency of surface soils have been measured. These measurements together with the soil morphological observations by Harrison
et al.
(2005, Chapter 7) and hydrological observations by Calvo
et al.
(2005, Chapter 9) and Niedzialek and Ogden (2005, Chapter 10) are used to formulate a comprehensive conceptual model of runoff production in the upper Río Chagres watershed.
