Propuesta de cálculo de balance hídrico de sistemas de abastecimiento de agua potable incorporando un enfoque BOTTOM UP de pérdidas reales de una red de distribución de agua potable con intermitencia del servicio en el cantón Jipijapa.

Abstract

In this document, the water balance analysis was carried out by two methodologies Top-Down and Bottom-Up, for subsector 6.1 of the drinking water distribution network of the Jipijapa canton in which, due to site conditions, it has a supply intermittent water supply with a total length of 9.9 km of supply network. Through these methodologies, it was possible to estimate the percentage of unaccounted water for subsector 6.1, which is 81%, and in addition, the percentage of unaccounted water was estimated for the entire network, which resulted in 57%, this value obtained does not represent a real value for the general behavior of the distribution network, due to the intermittence of the service; since if it were a network with continuous supply, the percentage of unaccounted water will be excessively higher, for this reason it is advisable to do an analysis by subsectors.
