Estudio de prospectivas de consumo hídrico de la microcuenca del Río Suratá Bajo para el año 2030 por medio del software WEAP.

Abstract

The main objective of this work is that the study of the supply and demand of the hydrographic basins that supply water to the populations is used as tools in the planning of the management of water resources, using as a means the creation of prospects through probable scenarios using the WEAP software as a tool. Specialized in present and future management of water resources. A prospective study was proposed where key variables and actors were defined for the determination of three probable scenarios defined as trend, unusually accelerated population growth and agricultural expansion that were later modeled in the software. Finally, an analysis of results was developed in terms of supply and demand, thus concluding that the scenario that represented an accelerated population growth was the one that showed the greatest deficits of demand covered according to the initial supply proposed, while the other two scenarios maintained an equivalent deficit between them. This leads us to conclude that the supply proposed at the beginning of the study would not be able to cover the total demand of the proposed scenarios, especially if there is an accelerated population increase.
