Abstract:
Drinking water is one of the natural resources most consumed by human beings and an important transmitter of diseases if it is not subjected to adequate quality controls. In Spain, much of the drinking water comes from reservoirs whose watershed is often occupied by farms. This means that part of the reservoir water has been in contact with phytosanitary products used on these farms. In this work, a methodology is being developed to determine the origin of the water flow that reaches certain areas of the reservoir. It is a 3D modelling and simulation methodology for the advance of the flow after a given rainfall event. To this end, work is being carried out on an improved version of the D8 algorithm, in which an extensive hydrological analysis is carried out, allowing more input parameters to be controlled in a more detailed manner. This allows 3D modelling and simulation of the rainwater trajectory until it reaches the reservoir.
