- ÍtemAcceso Abierto“Evaluación y propuesta de mejora en la medición de caudales del sistema de agua potable Bellavista de la ciudad de Azogues”(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Coronel Vivar, Diana Karolina; Quevedo Pesántez, Fausto David; 0302713169; ., .This study evaluates the drinking water supply system of the Bellavista sector in Azogues city to determine that the flow measurement equipment is operating under the established parameters and to propose an adequate diameter since the installed instrument presents intermittency in its reading. This study started with the collection of cartographic, demographic, and statistical information; data that were processed to define the coverage area, population projection, and an endowment that guarantees the water supply in the sector; information that was used in the allocation of demands in the nodes defined in the hydraulic modeling through the EPANET 2.0 software. Under the criteria established in the regulations, the flow rates to be used were defined considering different scenarios allowed by the software, within the useful life of the system, being the recommended for distribution networks the maximum daily flow rate plus fire; the velocity flowing through the pipe is another parameter to be considered in the sizing of the metering equipment. With the compendium of information, a methodology was developed that requires entering the value of the flow rate and velocity flowing through a pipe, which will make it possible to obtain the diameter of the equipment best suited to the operating conditions; this procedure will serve as a guide for water utilities that require the implementation of measurement mechanisms.
