Desarrollo de un prototipo hidrométrico usando vasos comunicantes en la acequia Pumamaqui de la comunidad de Pesillo.

Abstract

To the north of the province of Pichincha-Ecuador is the canton Cayambe, which consists of several communities dedicated to the agronomy field, one of them called Pesillo. There is located the Pumamaqui ditch belonging to the Pisque river basin, which is used for the regio of the surrounding plots, therefore the inhabitants of the community need to check the quality of the water that circulates through the canal, besides discarding the losses caused by erosion, filtration or evaporation. For this, a hydrometric prototype is constructed where the analysis variables are: flow, turbidity and pH. Each one of these variables are acquired by the sensors located in the communicating vessels and processed by a PLC, in order to send the data in units engineers towards a web page through the use of a GSM module. As for the power system this consists of a solar panel, a 12 V battery and voltage regulators for the power supply of 5 V sensors and a 12 V processor. Once the hydrometric prototype has been completed and installed, tests as necessary are carried out to guarantee data and results transmission, for which purpose each data is compared and verified using modules.
