Ppropuesta plan de riego en cultivos frutícolas usando aguas residuales tratadas en La Finca Casa El Retiro del municipio de La Mesa - Cundinamarca

Abstract

The present Plan of Irrigation in Fruit Crops using treated wastewater in the Finca Casa El Retiro is proposed in response to the scarcity and high cost of water in the Municipality of La Mesa-Cundinamarca. In this way, the controlled and planned irrigation of the citrus and mango crops is ensured, among other fruit trees with less coverage, allowing to obtain economic benefits for the commercialization of the fruit, the reduction in the purchase of agrochemicals and the substitution of the potable water for irrigation by domestic liquid waste treated inside of the farm, product of the development of its activities (making food and lodging). All this in compliance with the current international and national normativity.
