SPECIAL NOTE: If you are using CUENCAS for research purposes, please ackowledge its use by citing our IEEE paper (Ricardo Mantilla and Vijay K. Gupta. A GIS Framework to Investigate the Process Basis for Scaling Statistics on River Networks. IEEE - Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, Volume 2, Number 4, 2005.)

ATTENTION: Cuencas requires Java™ 1.5 or higher and Java3D™ installed on your system in order to run.

You can download Java for free at http://java.sun.com/
Note: You can download either the JDK or the JRE. Java is available for all platforms.

Also download and install Java3D:
* For Windows: Download java3d.1.3.1. During the installation process make sure the installer is pointing to the right JDK
* For Linux (i586) Download java3d.1.4.0 uncompress/execute this file inside the jre directory of your JDK.
* For Linux (AMD 64) java3d.1.4.0

Once these two products are installed on your computer click the link below to run Cuencas. Java webstart technology will take care of the installation and eventual upgrade process (Note: If you want to run CUENCAS at a time when you don't have internet access you can simply right click on the RUN CUENCAS link and save the jnlp file. Double cliking on the file will have the same efect than cliking on the link).

Due to time constrains I will not offer support of the program for the time being. A full flesh relaease will come soon. If you are interested in obtaining Cuencas source codes follow the instructions on the Developers Manual.
