Evaluación hidráulica y optimización del funcionamiento de las estaciones de bombeo del subsistema de agua potable Chobo - Recreo del cantón Duran.

Abstract

At present, one of the greatest concerns of the population in general is the supply of safe and efficient water. We found the main problem of the operation of the pumping stations that are in the Chobo Parish and one of its distribution sites is the area of El Recreo del Canton Duran, where it could be detected that the supply for these areas is inefficient compared to the regulations of drinking water, which also causes the deterioration of the quality of it, this causes users a great confusion because they must resort to another type of drinking water supply in this case the drinking water tanks and thus generates poor quality of life. It is for this reason that it is important to solve this social problem that has been generated and opportune to carry out the study of my work for the end of degree in the improvement of the existing hydraulic model and detect the anomalies that form the malfunction in order to avoid water losses in the supply network. This project will present relevant solutions for the improvement of the supply, providing new ideas with existing techniques and methodologies, improving the calibration of the hydraulic model and leakage modeling. In addition, the Epanet tool will be used to help us understand the relationships between pressure, flow rates and leakage.
