Diseño hidráulico del sistema de riego parcelario para el Proyecto Chambo Guano Los Chingazos – Fase II, en el Módulo 3, comunidad Chingazo Alto del cantón Guano.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to carry out the hydraulic design of the plot irrigation system for the Chambo Guano The Chingazos Project – Phase II, in module 3, Chingazo Alto Community of the Guano Canton. The study began with the placement of 54 control points for the flight plan, let the investigators get an orthophotography, digital model of the terrain and contour lines, which were used to update the cadastre and user register. According to the topography of the land, the reservoir was located and in this place soil and water quality studies were carried out. With the preliminary studies, the conduction and distribution network was designed under design criteria that allow correct functioning and balance in the investment cost for the construction of the project. It was determined that the design flow for module 3 is 34.75 Ls-1 and the total flow for the Chingazo Alto community is 91 Ls-1, so the volume of the reservoir is 4600 m3. The distribution has a length of 10.11 km, designed in PVC pipe with diameters between 160 mm and 32 mm, for 61 properties grouped into 28 submodules with 3-hour shifts every 7 days, in accordance with the agronomic design. The infrastructure will cost $504,460.96 USD, which includes: sand trap, reservoir, conduction, distribution, works of art and plot irrigation, with 20% indirect. The reservoir serves 5 irrigation zones, with an investment per hectare of $6021.16 USD, placing it under the state's prioritization threshold for irrigation projects. It is highly recommended that the irrigation board begins the search for economic resources for the execution of the civil works, where the management of the beneficiaries is essential for the success of the project.
