Diseño hidráulico de una presa en el río Barranco Alto en el cantón CNEL. Marcelino Maridueña

Abstract

This work focuses on maximizing the water use of the Barranco Alto River to improve access vehicle and generate economic, agricultural and social benefits in Marcelino Maridueña. It proposes to transform a deteriorated bridge at a dam with two-lane access, thus improving infrastructure for farmers and local communities. Hydrological and topography studies will be carried out, as well as analysis geotechnical to ensure the safety and viability of the project, with the aim of foreseeing a useful life of between 20 to 100 years. The collection of data, including information from INAMHI, will allow evaluation of the capacity of the dam and its potential benefits, opening the door to future projects to capture water, power generation and agricultural supply, ensuring the effectiveness and safety of the project through a Rigorous analysis of risk factors such as landslide and ground friction.
