Abstract (en):
La cuenca del Amazonas cubre alrededor de 6.8 millones de km2 en la cual el río Amazonas, su mayor tributario, tiene una longitud aproximada de 6000 – 7800 km. Gran parte de la cuenca Amazónica recibe de 1500 – 2500 mm de precipitación media anual y la descarga estimada para el río Amazonas ha sido calculada en 214 millones de litros por segundo en promedio (Goulding et al. 2003). A Colombia le corresponde un 8% (420.000 km2) del área de la cuenca, ocupando cerca del 31% del territorio nacional (Bogotá-Gregory & Maldonado-Ocampo 2005). La zona hidrogeográfica de la Amazonia en Colombia recibe el aporte de ocho cuencas y 78 subcuencas. Las principales cuencas corresponden a los ríos Guainía-Negro, Vaupes, Apaporis, Caquetá, Putumayo y Amazonas (IDEAM 2004)
