Diseño hidráulico para el mejoramiento y rehabilitación del sistema de riego de la Comuna San Vicente Alto, ubicada en la parroquia Cangahua, cantón Cayambe, provincia de Pichincha-Ecuador

Abstract

This project, whose objective is to carry out the hydraulic design for the improvement and rehabilitation of the irrigation system of the commune “San Vicente Alto”, is presented as feasible project and proposes a solution to the hydraulic problems that exist in the system, also, will allow optimizing the hydric resource, increasing the number of users and the irrigation surface. For it, the information of the project site will be collected through government entities and data collection in the field as flow rate and topographic survey, likewise, whit the collecting testimonies from the community that are relevant to the study. With the information obtained, a simulation is done in the WaterCAD V8i software to identify existing hydraulic problems and from the technical considerations to correct them, develop the design of the sprinkler irrigation system that best suits the needs of the community, using the same computational tool, to finally, prepare the referential budget, work schedule, all network plans and environmental management plan, necessary for its construction. The concessioned flow corresponding to 20,10 l/s is not sufficient to irrigate the entire arable area of 67,97 Ha, thus, it is proposed to divide irrigation into 10-hour shifts, ensuring the hydraulic efficiency of said irrigation shifts if users follow the recommended system operation and maintenance procedures.
