Diseño de la captación y reservorio del sistema de agua para la parroquia de Guaytacama, cantón Latacunga, provincia de Cotopaxi

Abstract

This project is developed for the parish of Guaytacama which wishes to take advantage of the water from a natural source that is in the sector to supply the San José de Guaytacama educational unit and the fair that takes place on the weekend especially when it exists times of water shortage. For the development of the project, a hydrological study was carried out to know the available flow in the area and establish if it is constant in all months of the year, it was necessary to obtain the topographic of the area to place the adduction line from the catchment site to the place where the storage tank will be built, due to the difference in levels, the adduction by pumping must be carried out. Two scenarios are presented for the construction of the storage tank and in the end the most economically feasible will be chosen: the first scenario refers to the construction of an elevated reinforced concrete tank which will be supported by a metal structure, the second scenario corresponds to the construction of a reinforced concrete cistern tank. The dimensions, diameters and accessories of the pipe that will transfer the water from the reservoir to the storage tank (adduction line) is done through already established mathematical models. To determine the value of the project, an analysis of unit prices of each construction process is carried out, through the preparation of plans.
