Resumen/RESUMO
An abstract in Spanish or Portuguese of up to 150 words summarising the content of the article should (a) indicate the main objectives of the research; (b) describe the methods used; (c) list the results; and (d) state the main conclusions. It must be written in an impersonal style: “the present study analyses…”.
Key words | separated by semicolons. For example: demanda de agua; regresión lineal múltiple; análisis de Fourier; estación de bombeo.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this section is to provide sufficient background, outlining the knowledge in the field under study, to understand the study objectives and assess the results. The references cited should be selectedcarefully to provide the most important background information. Reasons for selecting a particular method should be set out, in such cases.
This section should also describe the goal of the study, that is, the overall aim and the specific objectives to be achieved.
Sections in the manuscript
Section headings and paragraphs should be indented. Sections should not be numbered and headings should be formatted as follows:
a) Main headings: in bold uppercase font (INTRODUCTION).
b) Sub-headings: in bold lowercase font (Other headings in the manuscript).
References
Literature references should be identified in the text. Do not list works that are not cited in the text. The number of references included should be necessary and sufficient. The details should be accurate, and unsuitable references will not be allowed as they would detract from the quality of the journal. Preferably, references should be to journal articles. Unpublished papers, including those submitted but not yet accepted for publication, will not be accepted as references.
In the text of the manuscript, references should be cited in chronological order in lower case, e.g., Dolz and Velasco, (1990), Andrés-Doménech et al. (2010), Fox et al. (2014) and Miyajima (2014). Miyajima (2014) is an example of a work by one author; Dolz and Velasco (1990) of a work by two authors and Fox et al. (2014) of a work by three or more authors.
materialS AND METHODS
This section should describe the experimental design and/or models used in the study in detail, including sufficient informationto allow the work described to be reproduced. If necessary, the description of an area/region of study may be included as a sub-section here.
Regarding materials, technical specifications and exact quantities should be provided, as should their source and/or method of preparation. In the case of the methods, these should usually be described chronologically and we advise including a flow diagram outlining schematically all the steps followed to achieve the final objectives.
Tables
These should be in Word format and included in the text in the order they should appear, numbered with Arabic numerals and subtitled with a precise description of their content. Tables should be used to clarify important points, taking care not to use them to repeat information that is shown in figures. Table 1 (below) is an example of the format to be used.
Table 1| Example table.
Length / Flow / Pressure(m) / (m3/s) / (l/h) / (m) / (N/m2)
Experiment 1 / 200 / 0.75 / 2.7·106 / 30 / 29.4·104
Experiment 2 / 1534 / 1.21 / 4.4·106 / 35 / 34.3·104
Figures
The number of photographs, graphs and drawings should be kept to a minimum, each one used serving to substantially clarify what is said in the text. They should be included in the text, in the order they should appear, with Arabic numbering and an explanatory title below the figure. Figure 1 is an example.
Figure 1| Example figure.
Equations
These should be incorporated in the text, with Arabic numbering in order of appearance in parentheses. Symbols for variables and parameters should be in italic font. Equation (1) is an example: a linear equation relating a dependent variable to independent variables x1,…,xq:
y = b0 + b1xl +…+ bqxq (1)
where parametersb0, b1,…, bq represent the contributions of each independent variable to the estimate of the dependent variable.
Referring to tables, figures and equations in the text
Tables, figures and equations should always be referred to in full, e.g., “As can be seen in Table 6, in Figure 2, in Equation (1)…”; and “The data were obtained daily (Table 4) from five climate stations located across the watershed (Figure 3)”.
Units, expressions of quantities and abbreviations
The International System of Units (SI) should be used, with abbreviated symbols following numbers (e.g., 0.75 m3/s, 9810 N/m3).
Decimal quantities should be expressed with a decimal point (e.g., 1.21; Table 1), thousands with four numerals with no separation or symbol (e.g., 1534; Table 1) and values of tens of thousands or more using exponents, whenever possible, with the minimum number of decimal digits (e.g., 34.3•104; Table 1). Table 1 shows examples of how to write various types of quantities.
Only universally accepted standard abbreviations may be used without definition. For all other terms in the text to be abbreviated, the abbreviations should appear in parentheses on first use [e.g., The optimization method used was the Levenberg-Mardquardt (LM) algorithm, which is characterized…].
RESULTS
This section usual has two identifiable parts. First, there should be a broad description of the results obtained, providing an overview without repeating details of the experiments and/or methods already described in the Materials and Methods section. Second, the corresponding data should be presented.
If statistics are used to describe the results, they should be clearly significant. The Results must be expressed in a clear and simple way, as they represent new knowledge being added to the field of study.
DISCUSSION
The Discussion should present the relations, consequences and generalisations indicated by the Results. It is important to point out exceptions or lacks of correlation and to identify unresolved issues. Further, it should be shown whether the results obtained and interpretations are in agreement with previously published research. Possible practical applications of the work should also be cited and explained in this section.
CONCLUSIONS
The Conclusions section should concisely set out the findings of the work, their consequences and possible practical applications.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Authors should provide information on any sources of funding that supported the research presented.
REFERENCES
All of the works cited should be listed in this section and all the works listed should be cited at some point in the text. Only important, published works should be listed, reducing as far as possible the inclusion of sources that are difficult to consult such as reports, conference proceedings, etc.
Given the essential role of citations for indexing and the impact factor of the journal, good, accurate referencing is considered important, it being essential to include references to regular international publications (journals) as these indicate that the work published contributes to the intellectual debate in the field internationally.
The references are to be listed alphabetically and chronologically for each author, in the following format, without grouping by type of publication:
