Modelación y evaluación del sistema de agua de consumo humano de la comunidad Niño Loma, perteneciente a la parroquia Pungalá. propuestas de mejora

Abstract

Simulations of water distribution networks using free software EPANET, from its slopes to a treatment tank that after being treated is distributed to the Community of Niño Loma belonging to the Pungalá Parish, Riobamba canton, Chimborazo Province; this software allows to visualize points and critical sections in which the pipe paths can present problems and for which reason it is not efficient, without fulfilling the needs for which it was designed, this software when simulating all the pipe trajectories and in real time with roughness data, diameters, flow rates, geo-referenced points with altitudes, lengths of sections of real pipes, measured by the team in charge of the technical project; speed data can be obtained, pressures and losses per length, thus identifying the problem to modify variables and thus be able to apply an engineering solution to solve this problem, this software being a tool to obtain more real data, considerably improving the efficiency of driving of water to be used in a better way since it is a vital liquid for living beings and thus minimize their waste. When carrying out an analysis of the pipe networks, it is concluded that it must be ensured that there are no illegal connections throughout the distribution system since it would reduce the pressure and, due to this, it will not allow a constant flow of water along the path. ; thus recommending better control of illegal connections that are not marked in the design of the network.
