Important Canal Owners Associations
AND WATER COMMUNITIES
rely on Capta Hydro's solutions
The challenge
Inefficiency and lack of visibility in distribution, coupled with increasingly variable flow rates, have diminished surface water security for irrigation for many agricultural producers.
Fortunately, many of these challenges can be solved with our solutions.

Canal Melado Association Project
Problem
The Melado Canal Association manages one of the oldest irrigation works in the country,
with more than 90 years of history, distributing about 20 m3/s to its users, in addition to having a series of hydroelectric power plants. It is also part of the beneficiaries of the Ancoa Dam, completed in 2015 in the valley of the same name.
Challenge
Although the reservoir helped them to improve their irrigation security – and the hydroelectric power plants to have more income – these works imply greater demands on management and transparency in their distribution to other OAUs with which they share infrastructure.
these works imply a greater demand for management and transparency in their distribution to other OUAs with which they share infrastructure. In addition, the lower flows have put pressure on the company to improve its efficiency and accuracy in delivering water to its users.
Solution
Given these challenges, the Melado Channel Board of Directors
embarked on a multi-year plan to modernize its distribution network.
The Melado Canal Board of Directors, incorporating a series of advanced Capta Hydro telemetry and automation equipment, in addition to using Capta AMARU Software to monitor and optimize flow distribution. Discover these solutions below:
Accelerates implementation of telemetry and automation in the channel network
Equipment more adaptable to the infrastructure, anti-theft and with lower total costs.
Improved transparency
among users
Visibility of available flows 24/7 for your users, minimizing claims and uncertainty.
Improved efficiency
and distribution accuracy
Identifies and reduces losses due to water theft and overflows. Determine the sections with the highest leakage.
“What is not measured, cannot be managed correctly. With Capta Hydro we found a definitive solution to the uncertainty regarding our surface water source.”
