Aplicación de configuraciones electroresistivas mediante SEV, SP, IP con fines de determinar niveles freáticos en la finca agropecuaria de la Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: This study conducted on the agricultural estate of the Technical University of Loja (UTPL) focused on using electrical resistivity techniques to detect areas where groundwater levels are present and improve the management of this vital resource for agriculture. Advanced methods such as Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) and Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) were employed to map the areas where groundwater recharge occurs. The project advanced through three distinct phases: first, a geological analysis of the terrain was carried out to un-derstand the conditions affecting the presence and movement of groundwater; next, VES and ERT techniques were used to identify areas where water accumulates and recharges; finally, the collected data were integrated to design a strategy to optimize the use of water resources on the estate, promoting more efficient and environmentally respectful irrigation. The results will contribute not only to improving water management on the estate but also serve as a reference point for similar agricultural environments; this will ensure responsible and profitable use of water resources.
