Caracterización de la curva de consumo diario de la red de agua potable del barrio la Esperanza, parroquia de San Roque del cantón Antonio Ante, provincia de Imbabura

Abstract

The potable water network of La Esperanza, located in the San Roque parish of Antonio

Ante canton (Imbabura province), has two storage tanks managed by the community. The service

management faces demand challenges due to population growth. Within the context of the need

for an Operational Plan and management improvements, this technical project aims to characterize

the daily consumption curve of the neighborhood's water network to determine demand and supply

patterns in the sector.

The methodology included data collection through daily meter readings and the estimation

of per capita consumption based on the number of residents. Based on the collected data, a

descriptive statistical analysis was performed, represented through tables and diagrams, identifying

peak demand consumption patterns. Furthermore, maps of the study area were developed,

including the location of the water meters.

The results show an average daily consumption value of 1,164.58 liters/inhabitant/day.

During the week, the highest consumption was recorded on Thursday with 1,416.67 liters, while

the lowest consumption occurred on Friday with 900.00 liters. These results provide a technical

foundation to improve the community operation of the system and support management, demand

control, and infrastructure planning.
