Estudio del potencial hidráulico para la generacion de energia electrica en las comunidades del río ayampe

Abstract

The present work proposes to illustrate concepts related to the potential of the various tributaries that contribute to the Ayampe river basin in order to generate localized electric power, taking into account the environmental impact and the need of the towns and localities. Studying 19 georeferenced points in the water map of the province, chosen for the importance and the proximity to the localities found in the cantons of Jipijapa and Puerto López in the south of the province of Manabí, thus disclosing the hydraulic resources of this an important and protected area of the province. In a general way in Ecuador the natural resources are presented as a factor that influences a lot in the sustainable development of the country, it must be taken into account that the water management in the basin of the river Ayampe is of paramount importance for the populations that in They are found to be their only source of supply, having a big problem with the decrease of the flow rates at certain times of the year due to the altimetric profile that manages this zone of the country. The irregularity of this basin makes it very special, existing in it, groundwater (aquifers), as well as surface flows at certain times of the year. Since electricity is one of the main forms of energy consumed in the world and an integral part of the life of human beings, its consumption trend is increasing, therefore, for this type of power to be sustainable it is necessary that The generation comes from renewable sources even better if the potential is generated in the same localities for their own use, so our study of the hydraulic potential for the generation of electric power in the Ayampe River communities presents great relevance to future work to be done for Solve problems.
