Diseño hidráulico de un sistema de riego parcelario para el proyecto Chambo-Guano, Fase II, para la comunidad Chingazos, Módulo 2, cantón Guano.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to establish the hydraulic design of a plot irrigation system for the Chambo-Guano project, phase II, for the Chingazos community, module 2, Guano canton, for this, the updating of the land registry and users' register was obtained, the hydraulic design of the irrigation system was made and a reference budget for the project was established to improve agricultural production and irrigation development based on sustainable water resources management. The topographic data for the updating of the land registry and users' register was collected with the help of GPS equipment and a fixed-wing drone, which surveyed the total surface of the project intervention area. The hydraulic design was modelled in the EPANET program, which established the value of the minimum outlet pressure of 2 meters water column to guarantee the supply to all the lots that make up the project; a reference budget for the execution of the project was determined with the help of a spreadsheet. The research done for the project gave us the result that the irrigation area is 43.59 ha, the project is made up of 126 lots, the hydraulic design guarantees the supply of the necessary water resources to the entire surface of the project, the reference budget of the project will guarantee the construction of the project. The implementation of the project is recommended to be an alternative to amend the existing difficulties in the current irrigation of the area; and thus improve the efficient use of water resources, increasing agricultural production and the local economy.
