Diseño para el mejoramiento y ampliación del canal de irrigación entre los caseríos de Orocullay y Sector Alto de la Yeguada, distrito de Mollepata, provincia de Santiago de Chuco – La Libertad

Abstract

The project called "Design for the improvement and expansion of the irrigation channel between the villages of Orocullay and high sector of the Yeguada, district of Mollepata, province of Santiago de Chuco - La Libertad", aims to determine the technical criteria for design of the improvement and expansion of the irrigation channel; taking into account that, in our country, water is a renewable natural resource. It is for this reason that it was sought to design mainly four catchments that are in very poor condition, being captured in an inappropriate manner by sticks, stones, herbs, etc. Two of the main deposits belong to the Huayoy River and the two secondary deposits belong to the purple river and the solitude. On the other hand, we sought to design a line of conduction with inspection cameras and pressure break cameras for the first catchment that is at 3843.23 meters above sea level, where there is a steep slope of 35%. In the second catchment the water is drilled by a beloved concrete channel of 0.60x0.50 m, which in the initial part of the channel there are cracks and fissures in the structure, for this reason it was necessary to design a channel for diversion of the catchment to the existing channel of reinforced concrete. The junction of the two main catchments is at 3031.16 meters above sea level, where an air pass was designed, to allow the flow of the main streams to be conducted, then the two secondary captures were designed together with their bypass channel and finally a main channel of 0.60x0.55m with a length of 3.575 m was designed, driving a flow of 450 liters per second, this data was obtained through the hydrological study depending on the irrigated area, it is also worth mentioning that works were designed complementary as are the vertical and rapid falls in areas where there is a steep slope, also designed arts and lateral shots. Therefore, the topography of the area is semi-undulated, the study of soils is predominant according to the SUCS classification is gravel poorly graded with sand, the classification AASHTO is a granular material with fragments of rock, gravel and sand. Finally, it concludes that the proposed design will benefit 230.79 hectares of cultivation and at the same time complies with the technical standards and the referential cost of investment amounts to S /. 5,317,716.93.
