Caracterización de la curva de consumo diario de agua potable del sector Valle Hermoso de la parroquia La Matriz, cantón Pelileo, provincia Tungurahua

Abstract

Currently, the combination of factors such as accelerated population growth, economic development and climate change are negatively affecting the supply and distribution of drinking water. Therefore, the purpose of this research project is to determine the demand for daily consumption of the vital liquid in the Valle Hermoso Sector and provide real consumption values for the optimization of existing water networks or future projects. The information was collected in the field, the sample was established in 126 homes of the population with which we worked, surveys were applied from which the number of users per-home, the number of sanitary units, the socioeconomic activities and the characteristics of the home were obtained. service of the supply and distribution system, the most appropriate route was drawn to record daily consumption for 45 days in the afternoon. Subsequently, to determine hourly consumption, 7 cameras were installed that recorded the values for 7 consecutive days. and with the help of a manometer, pressure measurements were taken in PSI units from various points over a period of one week. In addition, using graphical information software, the values of per-capita consumption and pressure were interpolated and the study area was georeferenced. With the interpretation and analysis of each of the collected data, maximum and minimum daily consumption, average daily consumption, hourly consumption, consumption patterns, daily consumption curves, per capita consumption of the sector were obtained.
