	CARACTERÍSTICAS HIDROLÓGICAS DEL RIO MAPOCHO
		En relación con la factibilidad de transformar parte de la sección media del río Mapocho y su cauce en un "río navegable", se estima pertinente y necesario reflexionar previamente sobre algunos aspectos del contexto natural a intervenir y sus características estructurales y dinámicas.
		Aunque varios aspectos relativos al comportamiento hidrológico del río Mapocho han sido extraídos de los factores analizados previamente, es menester hacer un análisis retrospectivo del río, así como de los antecedentes climáticos.
		En suma, desde el punto de vista de la factibilidad, transformar el río Mapocho en un curso de agua navegable a la luz de los antecedentes analizados, es decir, considerando exclusivamente las características estructurales y dinámicas del medio natural, se considera un proyecto no viable.
