Evaluación del transporte sólido en el Río Santiago y alternativas para mejorar el funcionamiento del proyecto

Abstract

The perspective of the present work of thesis tries to penetrate in the problematic from the hydraulic point of view giving answer and posing solutions to the problem of the soil erosion that directly affects in the excessive production of sediments. Specifically, this problem reflected in the "Santiago" irrigation project translates into the reduction of the efficiency and performance with which the construction work of Santiago was designed, as well as the management of the maintenance costs of the take and canal work. Higher in view of the high volumes of sediment to be dislodged; Technically the problem of trawling according to field observations is due to the instability of the stream upstream. - The equilibrium of each channel in turn is dependent on the flow of water and sediment flow, as there is no balance the sediments try to escape the channel either eroding the banks and / or changing the shape of the bottom, It is necessary to take technical procedures and measures tending to protect the channel and therefore the work so that it works with the flow with which it was designed.
