Diseño hidráulico de un sistema de riego parcelario para el Proyecto Chambo-Guano, Fase II, en la comunidad Chingazo Bajo Módulo 7.

Abstract

The objective is to design a plot irrigation system for Module 7 of the Chingazo Bajo Community, located in the Chambo-Guano Phase II Project, based on conduction and distribution networks, hydrants and valves for farmers to irrigate efficiently, increasing production and the economy of 160 families in this place. For the elaboration of the hydraulic design of the irrigation system, information (data) was collected in real-time through the intervention of variables such as flow (31.6 L s-1), velocity (0.5 - 4.5 m s-1), pressure (0.63 - 1. 25 MPa) and head loss; where it was determined two main networks (conduction) of 1899 m length with diameters 160 mm and 200 mm and 34 secondary networks (distribution) of 5446 m length with diameters of 32 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 63 mm, 90 mm and 110 mm, pressures in the range of 0.63 MPa and - 1.25 MPa were handled 157 hydrants, and 35 regulating valves, which will ensure the operation of water distribution in the plots and improve agricultural production through efficient and modern irrigation. It was concluded that the hydraulic design of a technical sprinkler irrigation system will cover the water requirements of the crops present in the study area in the 38.65 net hectares of the design area, using small flows and high frequency, which will optimize the water resource. The cost of the project's civil works is $ 271451.25, which includes the cost of materials, labor, and equipment used for the construction of the hydraulic infrastructure; this is a tool that will allow farmers to manage the financing of the project with local governments, financial institutions, academic sectors and non-governmental organizations to apply technical alliances for the sustainable development of agriculture. It is recommended to use the milestone cast with a plate in high relief as a starting point to make the stakeout and levelling and ensure the layout of primary and secondary networks with accuracy.
