Resumen
La huella hídrica del cultivo de cacao en la finca huiracocha en el sector la Puntilla; se realizó la cuantificación de los componentes de la huella hídrica utilizando los programas Cropwat y Climwat y las ecuaciones de Penman Monteith para determinar evapotranspiración. Los resultados determinaron que la huella hídrica total del cultivo es de 13 459 m3 /ton siendo la huella hídrica verde que presento mayor apropiación por parte del cultivo. En tanto que el consumo de agua, a través de un aforamiento se concluyó que el cultivo recibe un exceso de agua azul, siendo un total de 6 728.4 m3 /año, resultado que es superior a la huella hídrica azul de 4 216 m3 /ton, existiendo desperdicio significativo de agua superficial. A nivel de análisis de sostenibilidad, los resultados determinaron que las huellas hídricas del cultivo son insostenibles en el ambiente, mientras que a nivel de rendimiento de cultivo se obtuvo un resultado de 0.35 ton/ha, estando por debajo de la media anual de Latinoamérica y el caribe siendo de 0.49 ton/ha y por debajo de la media mundial de 0.44 ton/ha.
The water footprint of cocoa cultivation on the Huiracocha farm in the La Puntilla sector; The quantification of the components of the water footprint was carried out using the Cropwat and Climwat programs and the Penman Monteith equations to determine evapotranspiration. The results determine that the total water footprint of the crop is 13,459 m3 /ton, being the green water footprint that presents the greatest appropriation by the crop. As for water consumption, through a measurement it was concluded that the crop receives an excess of blue water, with a total of 6,728.4 m3/year, a result that is higher than the blue water footprint of 4,216 m3/ton, there being a significant waste of surface water. At the level of sustainability analysis, the results determine that the water footprints of the crop are unsustainable in the environment, while at the level of crop yield a result of 0.35 ton/ha was obtained, being below the annual average for Latin America and the Caribbean being 0.49 ton/ha and below the world average of 0.44 ton/ha.
