%X in this study was carried out the environmental characterization of "el lim車n" watershed, in a sector that include the catchment area of the "el lim車n" town aqueduct systems. in the characterization the aspects geology, geomorphology, soils, relief, climate, hydrography and hydrology, and vegetation were studied. the catchment area studied corresponds to "guacamaya", "guamita", "los rausseos", "corral de piedra", "el piˋal", "el manguito", "valle verde", " la soledad " and "las mayas" streams, all tributary of the "el lim車n" river, and over one which thirteen aqueducts systems have been built, eleven of those which are of handmade type. the main characteristic and the hydraulic operation of the aqueducts catchment and adduction structures were also evaluated. the carried out characterization contributes the necessary information to evaluate the aqueduct systems expansion possibilities, as well as its use limitations. on the other hand the evaluation of some hydraulic and structural characteristics of the works allowed to determine the main aqueducts operation and maintenance flaws, as well as the possible solutions.
