dc.description.abstractCultivation practices emerge as a promising human-controlled factor that could offset the undesirable impacts of floods. The paper explores relations between rainfall, groundwater level, and cultivation to explain the dynamics of floods in the Quinto river watershed (Argentina). The analysis supports the existence of a cyclic mechanism driven by reciprocal influences, between cultivation and groundwater as an outstanding feature of highlands, but not in evidence in lowlands. Floods in lowlands may be the combined result of various factors such as local rainfall, groundwater level fluctuations, surface and subsurface lateral flow, and water-body interlinking.en
