Oferta y demanda de agua en la producción agropecuaria del territorio de influencia de la Organización “CODEMIA - CPM”

Abstract

In the context of the territory of influence of the “CODEMIA - CPM” organization, the analysis of the availability and quality of water for agricultural use emerges as a fundamental aspect for the sustainable management of water resources. This study focuses on evaluating both surface and groundwater, in order to determine the irrigable area and support agricultural development in the region. An exhaustive characterization of the water sources was carried out, including the measurement of flow rates, quality analysis and their geospatial location, in which this research was also based on bibliographic information. This allowed us to understand the distribution and status of available water sources, essential for the effective planning of agriculture and livestock in the area. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the agricultural production systems present in the territory were identified and mapped. This tool facilitated the precise determination of the water demand of each system, helping to optimize the use of resources and avoid environmental overload. A key aspect of the study was the evaluation of the territory's capacity to support agricultural activities by analyzing water supply and demand. A balance was established between the availability of water resources and the specific irrigation needs of crops and livestock, thus helping to identify potentially irrigable areas within the study territory, promoting sustainable agricultural practices and continuous monitoring of water quality. This seeks to ensure the long-term conservation of water resources and the viability of agricultural activities in the region of influence of “CODEMIA - CPM”.
