Caracterización de la curva de consumo diario de agua potable del casco urbano del cantón Patate de la provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

The present work is based on an experimental investigation with the purpose of obtaining the drinking water consumption data of the users of the urban area of the Patate canton, with the objective that this data be used in consultancies, projects, and studies related to the field. hydraulic and plumbing for the benefit of the population. The development of this experimental work began with the collection of information about the number of users that exist in the study area, selecting 100 users from the sector using the method of "Simple Random Sampling" and the method of "NonProbabilistic Sampling By Judgment of Experts”. With the sample already defined, measurements of drinking water consumption were made in a period of 45 days. To determine the per capita consumption, surveys of the selected users were used and to obtain the pressure of the flow, the measurement was carried out using a manometer, in addition to the hourly consumption, cameras were installed in the meters of the residences that met average conditions of the sector. Finally, the interpretation of the data was carried out, thus obtaining daily consumption curves, maximum and minimum consumption, average daily consumption, hourly consumption, the average number of the population, consumption patterns, per capita consumption, and through a graphic information software (GIS) maps of the studied sector were obtained.
