Urban Zoning Guidelines for the Management and Protection of Underground Water of the Birris River Watershed (Cartago)

The Birrís watershed is located in the southeast slope of the Irazú volcano, in it, exist several hydrogeological units composed by volcanic material, lahar flow and ash, which behave as aquifer and acuitards contained in two denominated aquifer systems Birrís and Pacayas-Reventado, which present an...

description The Birrís watershed is located in the southeast slope of the Irazú volcano, in it, exist several hydrogeological units composed by volcanic material, lahar flow and ash, which behave as aquifer and acuitards contained in two denominated aquifer systems Birrís and Pacayas-Reventado, which present an effluent hydraulic connection with the superficial drainages. Considering the use of the current soil, the recharge of the aquifer systems is of 38 000 000 m3/year. In this basin, the current use of the land doesn't coincide with the use capacity, this way 66% of the area is in overuse, impacting negatively to the aquifer systems, because it has happened conversion from the forest areas to shepherding areas and annual cultivations in the sectors bordering to the main springs. The proposal of limits for the handling of the basin includes among other things: a) a reforestation plan in areas with capacity of forest use, recharge areas and of protection of beds in the whole basin; b) the areas of recharge of the springs of the basin in a such way should be protected; c) classes of use of the territory like lineal parks should be established, areas of low density, protected areas, bioturistics corridors; d) classify the potential sources of contamination and the measures of prevention; and) in general a plan of classification of the basin should be promoted that reconciles the water production of the same one with its use capacity.

Estos sistemas acuíferos presentan conexión hidráulica efluente con los drenajes superficiales evidenciado a partir de manantiales que brotan en el contacto y en el frente de flujos de lavas que precisamente limitan su extensión. Considerando el uso de la tierra actual, la recarga de los sistemas acuíferos es de 38 000 000 m3/año. En esta cuenca, el uso actual de la tierra no coincide con la capacidad de uso, de forma que el 66% del área se encuentra en sobreuso, impactando negativamente los sistemas acuíferos, pues ha ocurrido conversión de las zonas boscosas a zonas de pastoreo y cultivos anuales en los sectores aledaños a los principales manantiales. La propuesta de lineamientos para el manejo de la cuenca incluye entre otras cosas: a) un plan de reforestación en áreas con capacidad de uso forestal, áreas de recarga y de protección de cauces en toda la cuenca de manera que se pueda disminuir la tasa de erosión sin afectar las actividades productivas; b) se debe proteger las zonas de recarga de los manantiales; c) se debe establecer clases de uso del territorio como parques lineales, áreas de baja densidad, áreas protegidas, corredores bioturísticos; d) se debe cartografiar y clasificar las fuentes potenciales de contaminación; e) en general se debe promover un plan de ordenamiento de la cuenca que concilie la producción hídrica de la misma con su capacidad de uso.Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica2011-06-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionJournal articlesArtículoArtigoartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/ambientales/article/view/769810.15359/rca.41-1.6Tropical Journal of Environmental Sciences; Vol. 41 No. 1 (2011): Enero-Junio; 47-54Revista de Ciencias Ambientales; Vol. 41 Núm. 1 (2011): Enero-Junio; 47-54Revista de Ciencias Ambientales; v. 41 n. 1 (2011): Enero-Junio; 47-542215-38961409-2158reponame:Portal de Revistas UNAinstname:Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricainstacron:UNAspahttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/ambientales/article/view/7698/8318Derechos de autor 2016 Revista de Ciencias Ambientalesacceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-08-23T21:19:49Zoai:ojs.www.una.ac.cr:article/7698Portal de revistashttp://revistas.una.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.una.ac.crhttps://revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaiandrea.mora.campos@una.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2019-08-23T21:19:49Portal de Revistas UNA - Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricafalse
