Diseño de solución hidráulica para un canal de aguas lluvias en cooperativa Flor de Bastión, bloque 8, Etapa 3, del sector Noroeste de Guayaquil.

Abstract

This research presents a proposed hydraulic recovery solution for a stormwater channel and its adjacent connections in the Flor de Bastión Cooperative, Block 8, Stage3. The aim is to address deficiencies in the current drainage system to prevent flooding during intense rainfall events, contributing to the development of one of the most vulnerable areas in the city of Guayaquil. The project included an analysis phase of the initial system proposed by the client to identify major shortcomings and needs. Consequently, three solution proposals were proposed to address issues related to flow velocity in the channel and capacity in the rest of the urban network. A combined system of improved gray infrastructure and blue-green solutions was implemented. The results demonstrated reductions in the flow discharged into the system and velocities within acceptable ranges, ensuring the durability of the structures. Among sustainable urban drainage systems are permeable pavement and rain gardens. These exhibit great adaptability in areas where space is limited, and socioeconomic conditions do not support solutions requiring constant maintenance and care.
