Resumen
Evaluación del potencial hidrológico para el abastecimiento de agua potable, ante
variabilidad climática: Caso de estudio el río Destierro en Limón, Costa Rica.
La problemática de este caso de estudio es la ausencia de planificación hídrica atenta contra
la disponibilidad futura del agua. Ante esta situación resulta fundamental comprender el
comportamiento de los cuerpos de agua en futuros escenarios climáticos, de manera que las
entidades encargadas del recurso hídrico tomen decisiones para la correcta gestión de este
recurso.
El objetivo general es evaluar el potencial hidrológico para el abastecimiento de agua potable,
ante la variabilidad climática: Caso de estudio el río Destierro en Limón, Costa Rica. Con los
siguientes objetivos específicos se resumen en: la estimación del caudal futuro del río
Destierro de acuerdo con los escenarios climáticos, y la determinación de la capacidad de
abastecimiento poblacional futuro.
La metodología se cataloga como una investigación de tipo descriptiva, con un enfoque
cuantitativo. Se utiliza fuentes primarias y secundarias para la recolección de la información.
En el capítulo I se contextualiza la problemática del proyecto, además se plantea el escenario
de desarrollo de la investigación.
En el capítulo II se describe los aspectos generales de la zona de estudio, la identificación de
las zonas de vida según Holdridge, y la ubicación de la red hídrica en estudio. En el capítulo
III se verifica que la perspectiva legal y la perspectiva socioambiental no afecten el desarrollo
del actual proyecto. En el capítulo IV se plantea la estrategia metodológica a seguir para
cumplir con los objetivos planteados en el proyecto. En el capítulo V se exponen los
resultados de la investigación según se detalla en el capítulo IV, además se analizará los
resultados obtenidos.
Se obtuvo cuatro posibles valores de oferta hídrica, dos de cada escenario de cambio
climático, el mayor volumen ofertado de recurso hídrico es de 23 791 816.43 m3, del
escenario 2050, en la ubicación actual del aforo.
Se recomienda que los datos generados, por este modelo hidrológico, establecen una base
para la preparación de acciones preventivas, se recomienda un plan de intervención para el
manejo
de la cuenca.
Evaluation of the hydrological potential for the supply of drinking water, in the face of climatic variability: Case study of the Destierro River in Limón, Costa Rica The problem in this case study is the absence of water planning threatens the future availability of water. Given this situation, it is essential to understand the behavior of water bodies in future climate scenarios, so that the entities in charge of water resources make decisions for the correct management of this resource. General purpose is to evaluate the hydrological potential for the supply of drinking water, in the face of climatic variability: Case study of the Destierro River in Limón, Costa Rica. With the following specific objectives are summarized as follows: the estimation of the future flow of the Destierro River according to the climatic scenarios, and the determination of the future population supply capacity. The Methodology is classified as a descriptive research, with a quantitative approach. Primary and secondary sources are used to collect the information. In chapter I the problem of the project is contextualized, in addition to the scenario of the research development. Chapter II describes the general aspects of the study area, the identification of life zones according to Holdridge, and the location of the water network under study. In chapter III it is verified that the legal perspective and the socio-environmental perspective do not affect the development of the current project. In chapter IV the methodological strategy to be followed to meet the objectives set out in the project is outlined. In chapter V the results of the investigation are exposed as detailed in chapter IV, in addition the results obtained will be analyzed. Four possible values of water supply were obtained, two for each climate change scenario, the highest volume offered for water resources is 23 791 816.43 m3, from the 2050 scenario, in the current location of the capacity. It is recommended that the data generated by this hydrological model establish a basis for the preparation of preventive actions, an intervention plan for the management of the basin is recommended.
