Spanish term or phrase: formando tirantes de agua de unos centímetros
Cauces aluviales superificiales secos

Esta unidad se ha originado por la erosión y los aportes de sedimentos aluviales de las laderas y las quebradas que estuvieron activas en el Cuaternario. En la actualidad son cauces secos, con evidencias que durante la época de lluvias intensas se reactivan formando tirantes de agua de unos centímetros.
Tirantes de agua: depths?

resulting in flow depths of several centimeters
Explanation:
For subcritical flow, downstream changes in flow depth impact on water levels upstream

This comparison has demonstrated that this mesh-less SPH approach can simulate reasonably well the free surface flows over a rough bed with limited flow depth.

Explanation:
"tirante" is usually the depth of water between the floatation line of a boat and the keel, but the meaning in this geology ST is clear enough.
