Sistema de recolección de agua como abastecimiento para los sectores aledaños a la parte media-alta de la subcuenca Casacay

Abstract

The loss or decrease of the hydrological flow as well as in the main and tributary rivers throughout history and within the last decade have been considered one of the most relevant problems by the inhabitants of the upper part of the province, this is This is because it directly affects their agricultural and livestock production and also their good living. Therefore, the general objective of our project was to analyze the evolutionary dynamics of the water flow in the period 2013-2019 in the main slope of the Casacay Sub-basin. This research was exploratory with a qualitative approach for data analysis. Regarding the evolutionary analysis, this was carried out through the proportion of data provided by the MAATE, Ministry of Environment, Water and Ecological Transition. This information indicates a taking of specific samples dating from 2013 to 2019, where an annual average of 1951.63 m³/s was obtained in the first year of study, then for the following year in 2014 the hydrological flow provides a growth which happens to have 3415.03 m³/s. Thus, we also have the data for the year 2018, noting that it is the year in which a greater number of samples were taken and also being the year in which a drastic flow loss was visualized, being 1507.07 m³/s. and strong, while in 2019 a considerable average was obtained at 1935.02 m³/s. giving the evolutionary dynamic a new form in an ascending manner. With regard to knowing the perspectives of the inhabitants of the area to obtain relevant information on the effects generated by water reduction in their activities. We apply the technique of surveys for the collection of information with a specific public, which are farmers and ranchers, thus collecting first-hand data, once this is done, the causes that generate the reduction of the flow in the main slopes in this are analyzed. highlighting some reagents such as the introduction of hydrophilic species to the canton, as well as forest fires, agricultural and livestock expansion and finally the felling of forests for these indicators, a proposal has been made that was aimed at the water collection system as supply in dry seasons for the sectors surrounding the middle-high part of the Casacay sub-basin. Where in order to be able to determine the conditions and criteria for the installation of the fog traps in the study area in the first stay and once these conditions were established for their correct installation and subsequent operation, a water collection system was implemented as a supply in dry seasons in the sectors surrounding the middle and upper part of the Casacay sub-basin. This is to be able to satisfy the different needs that the inhabitants suffer due to the scarcity of the vital liquid water, in the middle and upper part of the basin, thus being better used and reducing the ecological footprint.
