Análisis de escenarios y estudio de un balance hídrico con aplicación al embalse MACUL 1 empleando el programa HEC-ResSim

Abstract

The PACALORI project has as its main purpose to control the flood and water supply for irrigation, for which dams will be built whose reservoirs would store water for irrigation, one of which is the reservoir Macul 1 with a storage capacity of 57'000.000m3. To analyze the operational behavior of this reservoir water balance is performed and then a simulation through a computer program called HEC-ResSim is done in the winter season (December to May) as in the summer (June - November) of different scenarios, since it's a year of intense winter, extreme drought and normal conditions. For the study of the area to which the reservoir Macul 1 will provide water for irrigation is being considered in the stage of information-feasibility of the project, provided by the Program for Soil and Water Management (PROMAS) at the University of Cuenca. The results of this analysis indicate the behavior of the reservoir in each of the scenarios listed and we can analyze their performance in any month of the year, thus providing solutions for optimizing the operation of the reservoir.
