Validación experimental de metodologías de restauración hidrológica

Abstract

Abstract: The present investigative work has been carried out with the objective of establishing and experimentally validating the appropriate soil restoration method in lands with perceptible erosive processes. For this reason, plots have been built with linear soil conservation works, allowing the erosive process to be quantified and monitored in the determined sectors. The fascines and palisades are works implemented in these sectors. Monitoring was carried out in the months of November to March. Thus allowing us to establish which of the implemented erosion control methods was the one that presented the best results at the time of sediment retention. These plots were implemented in two different places in the urban area of ​​the city of Loja. The soil restoration methods were built with existing materials in the area, which is favorable for taking advantage of natural resources, reducing costs and making them easily accessible. To obtain comparable data, a plot was left in a natural state, which provided us with relevant data on erosion in that place. The experimental and natural plots were exhaustively monitored and the results obtained from the monitoring were compared, achieving optimal results and of great importance for future research.
