Evaluación de la red de distribución de agua potable del sector dos de Narrio del cantón Cañar

Abstract

The present study focuses on the hydraulic evaluation of the Narrio dos drinking water distribution network of the Cañar canton, which supplies part of the urban and rural areas of the canton, made up of family homes, educational institutions, public institutions and restaurants. . The drinking water matrix in the Cañar canton is made up of low-density polyethylene pipes from 1" to 4" and PVC pipes with a diameter of 63mm, 110mm and 160mm. The topography of the place under study is made up of critical zones, where the existing pressure in the drinking water matrix is ​​of vital importance for its correct operation. The evaluation of the network was carried out by recording consumption and pressure in homes in the study area, statistical analysis of data and modeling in a Software, the results found indicate that in the Byron Serpa citadel there is not enough pressure for the correct functioning of the sanitary devices inside the houses, while, in other points of the network, there are pressures that are within and above the limits recommended by current regulations, data that are reflected in the created pressure maps. This research contains pressure maps of the area under study and establishes possible recommendations to improve the operation of the distribution network, mitigating existing problems due to low pressures, in order to improve the service provided to users, with future complementary studies on the subject.
