Diseño y construcción de un prototipo para la medición de parámetros hidráulicos de cauces naturales para el I2TEC

The present research work focuses on exploring the various approaches, resources and tools needed to develop a device for measuring hydraulic parameters, in particular level and flow. The objective is to provide monitoring equipment that allows continuous evaluation of the condition of the tributaries in real time. This initiative seeks to optimize the management of permanent river flow monitoring through the use of low-cost technological devices. The methodological process includes the analysis of different flow measurement methods to identify the most appropriate one to couple for measurement in rivers, prioritizing criteria such as accuracy, affordability, maintenance and availability of materials in the local market. Based on this evaluation, the prototype was designed, built and implemented. For this purpose, detailed energy consumption calculations were carried out in order to correctly select the components of the autonomous power supply system, which includes a photovoltaic module, a charge regulator and a battery, thus guaranteeing the autonomy of the system. To validate the device, the float method was used to determine the real flow in a sector of the Malacatos River, and the prototype was used to calculate the theoretical flow in the same place. This procedure allowed the calculation of the discharge coefficient necessary for the prototype to deliver real flow values using the thick-walled rectangular weir methodology. When measuring with the final device and comparing the flow rate data obtained, a remarkable correspondence was observed, confirming the effectiveness of the designed device
