Determinar la demanda hídrica de la quebrada La Envidia en seis veredas del municipio de Fortul-Arauca.

Abstract

The water demand has a very important value to determine the amount of water that is required to maintain the productive and domestic activities of man. Likewise, the conservation of water sources and the proper use of water are promoted. For this reason it is important that in all the watersheds from which water is extracted and diverted, a plan is presented to obtain the demand and ensure the balance of the aquifer ecosystems and the needs of man. According to the above, for the La Envidia stream, the water demand of this surface source was estimated for six villages in the municipality of Fortul, implementing the Corporinoquia methodology which consists of a series of steps, which allow estimating the population that is is benefiting from the water resource, the sectors where the water extracted from the source is being implemented were also identified and finally the water demands in each of these sectors were calculated, thus determining the total water demand of these populations (654851,70 L /day).
