Optimización del sistema de distribución de agua de los barrios occidentales San Luis, La Moya y Miraflores, de la parroquia Aloasí, cantón Mejía

Abstract

The principal purpose of this study consists in the optimization of the water distribution system from the neighborhoods San Luis, La Moya and Miraflores from the parish Aloasí, canton Mejia, with a solution for the regulation of the exceeding hydric resource in winter seasons. The actual water system has an open network configuration and has been affected by the demographic growth and the depletion of its shelf life of the elements belonged to the network, which is evidenced at critical points. For the present project census surveys were conducted, socioeconomically surveys, a geological-geotechnical study, cartographic information, of consumptions, of capacity, and hydraulic structures, and later an evaluation of the system was carried out and its behavior in simulations of 10, 20 and 30 years through computer package WaterCad, considering the population growth in the neighborhoods and the increase in demand consumption. Once the system was analyzed, we proceeded with optimization where sections of pipeline in the network were modified, new pressure break tanks were added, pressure break valves were implemented, the current distribution tank was readjusted and a regulation tank was designed hydraulically. As deliverable products, a referential budget was made through an economic analysis of the optimization and drawings containing the georeferenced planimetry and altimetry of the optimized distribution network, together with the details of the projected hydraulic installations.
