Diseño de una obra de captación para una distribución eficiente de agua del canal de riego Tilulum Darquea en el cantón Ambato, provincia deTungurahua

Abstract

Due to the collection work of the Tilulum Darquea Acequia presents obvious problems in the collection of water for use in irrigation, it was hypothesized that said water did not meet national standards according to book VI of the TULSMA. An evaluation of the current work was carried out, consisting of a technical visit with the tutor teacher, a topographical survey, a bioassay with the use of the collected water, and a physical-chemical and microbiological laboratory analysis of the water. The flow of water and the accumulation of solids were evaluated through topographic data, the impact of the water captured on agricultural products was studied through the bioassay, and the laboratory analyzes were compared with Table 3 of Book VI of the TULSMA. It was determined what defects the current intake had and a remodeling of the work was designed, which consists of: a cut in the land for a more regular flow in the Ambato River and to avoid the accumulation of solids in the catchment area of the ditch, the implementation of a self-cleaning grid for the collection of solids that enter the channel, the design of the intake as a collection window for adequate intake of the corresponding flow, the location of the gate and the design of a wetland for the purification of the effluent.
