Propuesta de mejoramiento de la red de distribución del sistema de agua potable para la comunidad de santa lucía la libertad del cantón de Tisaleo, provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

Drinking water is an essential resource for life in urban and rural areas, so it must be optimally managed. For this reason, a proposal was made to improve the drinking water system in the area under study. Through the technical visit it was determined that the system is not in good condition, so for the development of this technical project surveys were conducted where two parameters were evaluated: socio-economic situation and water quality, in this way the current status of all the accessories that cover the system and the satisfaction of the service was known. It should be taken into account that each SDAP has a design period and in this case it ended more than 10 years ago, so there are leaks in the pipes and therefore the pressures are not adequate. On the other hand, a hydraulic evaluation was carried out in which the pressures were measured with a pressure gauge to determine the efficiency of the SDAP. A proposal for improvement and optimization was made so that each user has a good service, where the projection period is 25 years, which complies with the parameters that Ecuadorian regulations state. After the proposal made on the distribution system, a referential budget was made, which will be delivered to the members that are part of the SDAP. Finally, plans were drawn up detailing each consideration of the improvements made.
