RESUMO

The construction of dams has been one important option that was used by many countries in order to reach the development. With elapsing of the years the dams has evidence that produce many benefits but also impacts, that s why must be a balance in the choice and determination of the new projects in function of the needs and always with the goal of reach the sustainability. Looking a sustainable development for Bolivia was defined as objective of this work esteem the remaining hydroelectric potential of the different basins analyzing and detaching the effect on the environment. In this way, a regionalization study was made to determine the outflows of the flow duration curves of the daily average outflows, in order to evaluate the hydroelectric potential of the main rivers of each basin. The calculated remaining hydroelectric potential of Bolivia was of 68 GW which is concentrating in the flowing east of the eastern Mountain range of Andes, has been identified four basins with individualized potential of 21 GW. The plain rivers had demonstrated to have aptitude for run-of river plants. This work constitute and advance in the identification and determination of future sustainable hydroelectric projects, inside could be find the tools to determine the remaining hydroelectric potential and the flow duration curve for any basin in the area of the study in Bolivia. Also were defined the concepts and the recommendations for made that projects sustainable
