Diseño de la captación, línea de conducción, planta de tratamiento y tanque de almacenamiento para el sistema de agua potable del barrio La Merced, parroquia Tambillo, cantón Mejía, provincia de Pichincha

Abstract

The present project presents a design proposal for the intake, pipeline, treatment plant and storage tank for the drinking water system of the La Merced de Tambillo neighborhood in the prefeasibility stage, formulated with the technical, economic and environmental components, and complying with the standards set forth in the norm (CO 10.7-602-Revision). To obtain the basic information required for the preparation of the project, a survey was conducted and studies of topography, hydrology, gauging, soil mechanics and water quality were carried out. The results of the respective studies and the theoretical analysis of hydrogeology, allowed to propose two design alternatives for the catchments and the pipeline. In addition, sanitary works were designed, such as the treatment plant consisting of a dynamic coarse filtration system and a rectangular semi-buried storage tank, with a useful life of 20 years for all the above-mentioned elements. The result of the economic analysis whose indicators such as VAN, TIR and B/C is favorable for the execution of the project, on the other hand, the environmental impact study determined that it does not present possible potential impacts throughout the execution of the project. It was evident from the economic and environmental analysis that the project is viable for the construction of the aforementioned elements and satisfies the water demand requirements in terms of quantity and quality in the proposed project.
