Caracterizacion de la textura, la densidad aparente, la infiltracion y compactacion de un suelo en el barrio San Benito usando distintos patrones de muestreo

Abstract

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Intergovernmental Technical Group on Soils (WGIS), soil is exposed to at least nine threats, including pollution, which occurs when a substance is present at levels higher than what should be naturally present in it. One way they can enter is through the dumping of wastewater (AR), generating an imbalance in its components, thus affecting the ecosystem processes in which the soil participates. Such dumping is legal in Colombia through Decree 050 of 2018. This specifies that to execute this activity, a characterization of 17 physical properties must be carried out. In this work, 4 of these properties were determined: texture, apparent density, infiltration and compaction for a soil in the San Benito neighborhood of the city of Bogotá through the use of two sampling patterns with which a relationship was obtained between the determined properties and the behavior of the water that enters there, since it will be through this that a contaminant will be able to move more or less quickly.
