Evaluación y mejoramiento hidráulico de la infraestructura del sistema de riego biprovincial Ambuquí

Abstract

The present work consists of the evaluation and hydraulic improvement of the infrastructure of the Ambuquí biprovincial irrigation system located in the Carchi and Imbabura provinces, according to a joint analysis of the operating conditions of the existing infrastructure, topographic, morphometric characteristics, hydrological and meteorological. In addition, a hydrological study is included that results in the determination of the different characteristics that present in the influence of the basin of the place with respect to the irrigation system. Because the design period has been exceeded, a design was carried out in the catchment work with the different alternatives of concessioned, theoretical and design flows, as well as the design of the Chota and Espadillas river siphon, which for its implementation is carried out an identification of possible environmental impacts and mitigation measures. Consequently, by optimizing the openings of the gates, it is possible to guarantee in an effective and sustainable way the proper functioning of the system in order to supply water to the current and future population, improving the quality of life of users. The total amount of the work is established and subsequently the time schedule that is required to be fully executed.
