    The document discusses research on estimating surface runoff and hydraulic simulation using SCS methods and HEC GeoRAS software to determine risk zones in small urban areas of La Paz, Bolivia. It provides background on the study area and outlines the search strategy and references used. The main purpose of the research is to estimate the amount of water waterways can handle and identify urban areas vulnerable to flooding or damage based on insufficient hydraulic capacity.
