Viabilidad de utilizar la simulación continua en SWMM para la planificación de la conservación de los recursos hídricos

Abstract

The availability of water resources is a current problem, so being able to conserve water resources is a fundamental mission if sustainable development is desired.

Planning the conservation of water resources is not an easy task, since hydrological processes are usually complex and it is necessary to make multiple assumptions and simplifications to estimate the volumes of water that participate in a water balance. This report evaluates the feasibility of using continuous modeling through the SWMM model as a tool for water resource planning through a literature review, reviewing various case studies where continuous modeling in SWMM has been used in practices capable of contributing to conservation. of the water resource.

The literature consulted allows us to conclude that continuous modeling in SWMM is viable in different case studies, such as evaluating the recharge capacity of aquifers, quantifying the retention capacity of water resources in urban basins, evaluating sustainable drainage systems and comparing different solutions. Based on this, it is concluded that SWMM is a viable model in planning the conservation of water resources as long as the necessary resources for its use are available.
