Estudio y caracterización hidráulica del óvalo 1 al óvalo 4 del canal de riego Ambato- Huachi-Pelileo, cantón Ambato, provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

Due to the fact that there were no records of conditions in which the mencioned ovals are found, in the present experimental work the study and hydraulic characterization of the irrigation canal in the section between oval 1 and oval 4 located in the sector og Huachi La Libertad, based on the topographic survey of the canal. The physical and hydraulic properties of the channel included in the abscissas 0+00 kilometers 2+600 kilometers were determined, the total station was used to determine the topography and the DMM-4000PFT windlass to determine the speeds at different heights of the hydraulic depth, depending on the gauging method, the topography obtained was processed with the help of specialized software to determine contour lines, longitudinal profile of the channel, among others, the velocities were processed in spreadsheets to determine the flow in each cross section and with this, the speed graphs were made in which the minimum and maximum ranges existing in the study channel were presented. The channel was modeled using the hydraulic simulation program for channels and recreating its behavior in a numerical model for each point, in which the change of values of manning coeffcients was made, in other words, characteristic of the point of the channel were determined, study and analyzed the impact of the canal design today.
