Abstract

The Pfafstetter methodology has been applied within this case of study in order to identify and analyze a micro watershed that covers 8 municipality’s in the middle west part of Honduras. Known as MAMCEPAZ. This exercise allows us to identify some draining units, based on the characteristics of the land’s surface. We conclude that those characteristics could be governed making decisions based on a model in which the territorial management takes a protagonist role that guarantee a sustainable use to all the resources within the territory, especially water.
