Caracterización de la curva de consumo diario de la red de agua potable del sector Santa Rosa del cantón Ambato

Abstract

The present experimental work consists in carrying out a characterization of the daily consumption curve of the drinking water network of the Santa Rosa parish of the canton of Ambato, the objective of this study is to perform flow measurements that allow us to generate curves and consumption patterns, both daily and schedule, and therefore determine which day of the week there is a greater and lower consumption of drinking water by residential users in the sector. In addition, also know what are the hours of highest and lowest water consumption throughout the day. It began with taking measurements of the volume of drinking water consumed in each of the 100 selected properties of the sector, during a period of 60 days, with this information collected daily consumption patterns, hourly consumption patterns, average consumption by day, average per capita consumption, in addition, through the Gumbel and Pearson III method, the future per-capita consumption was obtained for return periods of 2, 5, 10, 20 and 30 years. Surveys were conducted to residential users of the total sample selected and the pressure in each of the 100 selected properties during a period of 7 days. Based on the surveys carried out on residential users, a statistical analysis and interpretation of the results were carried out, such as: type of dwelling, type of dwelling, number of users per dwelling, number of dwelling units per dwelling, identification of possible problems in pipes, water supply, variation of water pressure, weekly consumption, consumption patterns, by tables and figures. Finalizing the work with the realization of maps in the geographic information system, which can be observed in them a representation of the variation of per capita consumption and variation of drinking water pressure in different sites of the sector.
