Groundwater recharge methodologies in a Tectona grandis Linn F. (Teca) production system, at the San Felipe farm, Yacopí

Abstract

The present work consists of a proposal that integrates groundwater recharge methodologies for sustainable production systems. For this purpose, the following culture of Tectona grandis Linn F. (Kingdom: Plantae, filum: Spermatophyta, subphylum: Angiospermae, class: Dicotyledonae, order: Lamiales Family: Lamiaceae) was selected, because it germinates in places with temperatures of 22ºC to 28ºC and allows the generation of favorable conditions in the soil, such as cooling of the roots, which increases the absorption of groundwater through the evapotranspiration of each seedling. This is due to the fact that in this process, the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is increased, which in turn intensifies precipitation in the area and multiplies, as mentioned, the groundwater recharge, because it maintains low temperatures in the subsoil where the roots are accentuated. It also enables another economic activity to be acquired on the farm, such as the business of marketing and selling wood on the San Felipe farm [1], [2]. In addition, the implementation of row planting is suggested with the key line methodology, which consists in that by the action of gravity the water flows from slope to slope through some spaces in the soil and in this way maximize infiltration. of water in the subsoil. Finally, it is planned to put into operation the VAC System, a complementary technique for the recycling of nutrients and waste, being efficient for the production around the economic activities that can be carried out on a farm. In conclusion, it was determined that, through the implementation of the two joint methodologies, it would lead to greater efficiency in the optimization of groundwater capture, which is corroborated by a comparison between the liters of water obtained in each case.
