Resumen
La hidrografía es muy importante ya que esta ciencia se encarga del estudio de las masas de agua y el estudio de la distribución y propiedades de las aguas que se ubican en la superficie terrestre y esto nos ayudaría a reconocer las fuentes hídricas. La investigación sobre la influencia socioeconómica de la hidrografía en la provincia del Guayas es vital porque permite entender los vínculos entre el agua y la economía de la provincia y de sus cantones siendo la provincia con mayor desarrollo en Ecuador el país de la mitad del mundo ubicada en la parte costera. Se caracteriza por tener fuentes hidrográficas muy importantes Como las ramificaciones de los ríos Babahoyo y el Daule y el Gran Río Guayas por el cual tiene el nombre la provincia cruzan por el interior de la provincia en conjunto de esteros y manglares dando un ecosistema muy variado y así desembocando en el golfo de Guayaquil.
Hydrography is of immense importance as this science is responsible for the study of water bodies and the distribution and properties of the waters located on the Earth's surface, which helps us recognize water sources. Research on the socioeconomic influence of hydrography in the province of Guayas is vital as it allows us to understand the links between water and the economy of the province and its cantons, being the most developed province in Ecuador, a country located in the coastal region known as the Middle of the World. It is char-acterized by having particularly important hydrographic sources such as the branches of the Babahoyo and Daule rivers, as well as the Great Guayas River, which gives the province its name. These rivers cross the province, together with estuaries and mangroves, creating a highly diverse ecosystem and eventually flowing into the Gulf of Guayaquil. The Gulf of Guayaquil is located between Cape Blanco (Peru) and Punta Santa Elena in the province of Guayas (Ecuador). It spans over 230 km, making it the largest in the entire area that forms part of the western coasts of the continent, bathed by the Pacific Ocean. The socioeconomic influence of hydrography in the province of Guayas has also presented challenges and issues. Pollution of rivers and estuaries, resulting from industrial and agricultural activity, has affected the water quality and the health of communities that depend on it. Additionally, climate change and deforestation have caused imbalances in the ecosystem, putting the sustainability of the economic activities based on hydrography at risk.
