Estudio del aprovechamiento de los caudales subterráneos de los predios del “bloque G”, de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana, Sede Quito, Campus Sur

Abstract

This study was carried out in the facilities of the Southern Campus of the Salesian Polytechnic University – Quito Headquarters. The aim of the study was to determine the meteorological and climatic characteristics of the site and to propose an alternative for exploiting the underground flow by means of an irrigation system that allows the maintenance of the turf or grass of the sports field The designs were carried out in two stages; based on two proposed alternatives: a first where the flow required for the hydrosanitary system in Block G was analyzed along with the irrigation for the sports field, and second only with the irrigation system for the sports field, as a winning alternative, is proposed a design with a square distribution of 13 sprinklers, 4 main and 9 emergent, with a spacing between sprinklers and lateral of 20m x 20m, the sprinklers will operate in 2 irrigation sections with a duration of 1 hour for each section and a frequency of irrigation of 5 days. The designs of the presented systems, were realized with the purpose of guaranteeing in each sports day the functionality and comfort of the playing field.
