Saberes ancestrales para la siembra y cosecha de agua de uso agrícola en el Ecuador

Sowing and harvesting water for agricultural use is identified through which man or woman collects and infiltrates (sows) rainwater, surface runoff, hypodermic and groundwater into the subsoil in order to be able to recover (harvest) it sometime later. Planting and harvesting water provides farmers with water for crops, animals and household chores in times of drought. The information obtained was carried out through the technique of analysis, synthesis and summary, with the purpose that the reader learns about the ancestral knowledge for the sowing and harvesting of water for agricultural use in Ecuador. From the above detailed, it was determined that water harvesting has a first order potential to improve the provision and seasonal regulation of water for social, productive and environmental use (improvement of wetlands), in the same territory of water supply or in nearby regions. Water planting and harvesting allows understanding several simple and less expensive techniques to capture and conserve rainwater to be used for agricultural activities and domestic chores, especially in localities that lack water for these functions. The planting and harvesting of water is carried out through the construction of infiltration ditches, qochas, conservation and healing of pastures, as well as afforestation and reforestation. The idea is to gather for low water levels. There are several strategies and practices to plant and harvest rainwater, to cope with its regional storage and to use it sooner or later in positive places, in positive instances and in safe quantities.

La siembra y cosecha de agua para uso agrícola se identifica a través de la cual el hombre o la mujer recoge e infiltra (siembra) el agua de lluvia, de escorrentía superficial, hipodérmica y subterránea dentro del subsuelo con el fin de poder recuperarla (cosecharla) algún tiempo después. La siembra y cosecha de agua proporciona a los agricultores agua para los cultivos, los animales y las tareas domésticas en casos de sequía. La información obtenida fue efectuada mediante la técnica de análisis, síntesis y resumen, con la finalidad de que el lector conozca sobre los saberes ancestrales para la siembra y cosecha de agua de uso agrícola en el Ecuador. Por lo anteriormente detallado se logró determinar que La cosecha de agua tiene un potencial de primer orden para mejorar la provisión y regulación estacional de agua para uso social, productivo y ambiental (mejoramiento de humedales), en el mismo territorio de abastecimiento de agua o en regiones cercanas. La siembra y cosecha de agua permite entender varias de las técnicas sencillas y menos costosas para captar y conservar el agua de lluvia para ser utilizada en actividades agrícolas y quehaceres domésticos especialmente en localidades que carecen de agua para estas funciones. La siembra y cosecha del agua se lleva a cabo mediante la construcción de zanjas de infiltración, qochas, conservación y curación de pastizales, así como la forestación y reforestación. La idea es reunir para los niveles bajos de agua. Existen varias estrategias y prácticas para sembrar y cosechar el agua de la lluvia, para hacer frente a su almacenamiento regional y para utilizarla tarde o temprano en lugares positivos, en instancias positivas y en cantidades seguras.
