Diseño hidráulico del sistema de drenaje matriz de la cuenca noroeste de la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The population and urban growth in Guayaquil have been increasing in the last years, especially in the northeast. In northeast zone of Guayaquil we can found several sectors that have high lives of population concentration such as El Fortín, Ciudad Victoria, Monte Sinaí, Coop. Trinidad de Dios, Voluntad de Dios, Villa Bonita etapa 1, Flor de Bastión, Coop. Cañaveral, Sergio Toral, between others. These sectors represent an approximate population of 300.000 people that are the most part of the rural zone in Guayaquil. These sectors have not all the basic civil infrastructure that an urban zone has so in consequence happens many problems. One of the principal problems that occurred is the flooding produced by the rain in Guayaquil`s winter. The flooding happens when the water flow produced by the rain exceeds the loading capacity of natural water channels in the zone. For this reason, it has been proposed three natural channels in order to evacuate the flow demand of water produced by the rain. These three channels would be adjusted by a cross section that works and avoid the flooding of the sectors in Guayaquil`s northeast.
