    This thesis designs and assesses Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) integrated with the conventional sewer along Cerro Casigana–Av. Manuela Sáenz (Ambato, Ecuador) to reduce urban flooding. Using hydrologic analysis (Rational Method), thematic mapping, and NDVI-based indirect infiltration diagnostics, the study finds prevailing bare soil (55.82%) and sparse vegetation (28.07%), which increase runoff towards lower areas. A scenario comparison shows that SUDS + sewer (French drain, hydrodynamic separator, functional revegetation) reduces sewer inflow by ~30% (from 1.56 to 1.09 m³/s at I=60.50 mm/h), thus mitigating overflow risks and O&M loads. The integrated approach proves feasible and scalable for similar urban settings in Ambato; a phased implementation and performance monitoring are recommended.

    Análisis de la implementación de SUDS para el control del agua pluvial y mejora del paisajismo urbano del parque y la plaza de Quisapincha, cantón Ambato, provincia de Tungurahua.

    This research analyzes the feasibility of implementing components of a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) in the park and plaza of the Quisapincha parish to control surface runoff and improve the landscaping of these areas. This was achieved through the modeling of prototypes using the SWMM 5.2 software, which reflects the flow behavior throughout the system based on the area's precipitation. Data collection was carried out using a mixed-methods approach, emphasizing research through academic digital sources, field observations, consultations with INAMHI to obtain hydrometeorological information, topographic surveys, and tests. The data was then analyzed using open-source software to obtain valid and comparable data. The results highlight the importance of implementing a SUDS in areas prone to rainwater stagnation, as this solution allows for the filtration, retention, storage, and infiltration of precipitation. This research presents an alternative for stormwater management without neglecting ecological value, even allowing for water reuse. Furthermore, it establishes a foundation for future research on implementing other components of a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS), depending on the area's location and climatic conditions. It highlights the importance of implementing sustainable measures to reduce natural disasters caused by rapid urbanization.

    Linked to municipal water sources, the Cachipamba Ecological Park suffers from lack of water management due to climate change. The objective of this study is to propose a drip irrigation system integrated with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) to optimally use water, reduce the amount of runoff and improve resilience to climate change with a certain case study model for an urban green space in a semi-arid area. Methods: The approach used in this thesis was mixed, including: (1) analysis of available hydrological series (1976-2017) to determine maximum rainfall and return periods; (2) hydraulic modeling of the irrigation system with a flow rate of 45.89 m3/h (90% efficiency); (3) design of a SUDS that had capacity for extreme events (180 mm/h) and; (4) social assessment, conducted through workshops with local community members and by interviewing community experts. Results: The system demonstrated: (a) 36.03% potable water savings with rainwater harvesting; (b) effective storm management for a 100-year return period; (c) irrigation coverage of 16.67 mm every three days. The SUDS infrastructure proved to be able to infiltrate 40% of the runoff and improve water quality (85% solids removal). Discussion and conclusions: The results confirm the success of integrated systems for sustainable water management in urban areas. Although continuous monitoring is necessary to observe and maintain biological parameters, the design outperforms conventional alternatives in terms of climate adaptability and efficiency. Future research will need to study the long-term impacts on biodiversity, as well as its replicability in other urban contexts.
