Desarrollo de un sistema de riego para la población de San José del Tablón parroquia Pifo

Abstract

The community of San José del Tablon does not have a water distribution system for irrigation, this problem led the population to use water for human consumption to irrigate crops, which is a crime according to the law of water resources, uses and use of the Water.

The purpose of this project is to draw up the plans for the water distribution networks for irrigation of crops in addition to estimating a referential budget, thus making efficient use of the flow provided by the National Council of Water Resources.

The project was carried out in several stages: recognition of the place, socialization with the population, preparation of surveys, topographic survey, identification of the irrigation point in the plots, determination of the need for irrigation, network tracing,, analysis of diameters, speeds, pressures and the elaboration of the referential budget.

To determine the need for irrigation, meteorological information provided by FONAG was used and the water requirement was evaluated using software developed by FAO called CROPWAT 8.0.

The construction of the distribution system will make it easier for the population to water their crops efficiently and will improve the working conditions of people engaged in agriculture.
