Diseño de alcantarillado pluvial del Recinto Las Mercedes de la parroquia San Isidro, Cantón Isidro Ayora

Abstract

The Las Mercedes Settlement, located in the San Isidro parish of the Isidro Ayora Canton, has experienced severe issues with stormwater management, leading to frequent flooding that impacts both the local economy and the residents' quality of life. This research focused on designing a stormwater drainage system to improve water management and mitigate these problems. The methodology used was applied and descriptive, with a quantitative approach. Data was collected through document review and topographic analysis, utilizing technologies such as total stations and GPS. The Civil Cad software was crucial for modeling and simulating different scenarios, allowing the definition of essential parameters such as location, design bases, return period, and flow rate. In conclusion, the project provides a viable technical solution that will enhance stormwater management, reduce flood risks, and contribute to the improvement of public health in the community.
