Elaboración de un plan de manejo ambiental para la conservación de la microcuenca de la quebrada Tayango, parroquia Lloa, Cantón Quito, provincia de Pichincha

Abstract

This study was centered on the formulation and development of an Environmental Management Plan aimed at preserving the "Quebrada Tayango" micro-watershed, located in the Lloa Parish, Quito Canton, Pichincha Province. A meticulous comparison of the analyzed parameters was conducted against current regulations, revealing that the values recorded in the upper and middle regions of the micro-watershed are fully compliant with the established permissible limits under the regulatory framework. The assessment of the Water Quality Index (WQI) yielded results indicating an optimal conservation state in the waters of the Quebrada Tayango. These findings robustly endorse the significance of implementing an Environmental Management Plan, designed to safeguard and sustainably manage the micro-watershed. The proposed Environmental Management Plan encompasses a range of strategies, spanning from biodiversity conservation to proper water resource management, alongside promoting sustainable agricultural practices and encouraging active participation from the local community. The execution of this plan will not only contribute to the protection and restoration of the micro-watershed but also ensure the preservation of diverse ecosystems and enhance the quality of life for the neighboring communities. This study reaffirms the full compliance of the analyzed parameters with current regulations within the micro-watershed of the Quebrada Tayango. The core objective of the Environmental Management Plan is to strengthen the conservation and sustainable management of the micro-watershed, thereby ensuring the preservation of natural resources and the holistic well-being of the local community.
