    The thesis titled "Evaluation of the Sustainability of Zone 1 of the San Juan-Patoa River Technified Irrigation Project" focuses on assessing the sustainability of the technified irrigation system implemented in this area. This study addresses three key dimensions of sustainability: economic, ecological or environmental, and socio-cultural. In the economic dimension, the impact of the irrigation system on agricultural productivity and beneficiary income is analyzed, highlighting both the benefits and economic barriers to its adoption. In the ecological or environmental dimension, the efficiency of water use, soil conservation, biodiversity, and the overall impact of the irrigation system on the natural environment are examined. Finally, in the socio-cultural dimension, the acceptance and use of the system by the community are evaluated, along with the level of knowledge and training of the beneficiaries in sustainable practices. The results indicate that, although the project is generally sustainable, there are areas for improvement in beneficiary training and the implementation of sustainable practices. Specific recommendations are proposed to address these shortcomings and enhance the long-term viability of the technified irrigation system, thus ensuring its contribution to the sustainable development of the region.
