Propuesta para la gestión sostenible de las aguas de escorrentía en el Barrio las Quintas de la Ciudad de Tunja.

Abstract

Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) have been implemented over time to carry out the collection, transport and disposal of runoff water in a sustainable manner. This project seeks to consolidate a proposal for the sustainable management of runoff water in the Las Quintas neighborhood of the city of Tunja, through the diagnosis of the hydroclimatic conditions of the territory, the identification of urban planning criteria that influence the rainwater management, taking into account the participation of key stakeholders in the territory, the proposed management alternatives, and the management of runoff water generated in the study area. For the development of the research, a review of information in bibliographic sources regarding Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems and the criteria to make the process urbanly sustainable was carried out in the first instance. In the same way, the water balance method of the area was carried out, the area of the land was identified and a photographic record was carried out by means of an orthophoto for the analysis of slopes, level curves and visualization of sinkholes in the area. study. Subsequently, urban planning criteria were established in order to find the best planning path according to the interests and knowledge of the population. Based on the results obtained, the Las Quintas neighborhood was characterized and the different problems were determined, such as inadequate execution of sewerage works and the little management of the territorial entities by allowing it to be built in areas adjacent to rivers and in wetlands, Similarly, a proposal for the sustainable management of water from heavy rains was consolidated, proposing and locating 18 floodable ponds that would store 50% of the water that goes directly to the sewers and thus reduce the possibility that flood events occur in the sector.
