Evaluación y diseño del sistema de distribución de agua potable para los barrios Aida Palacios, Central, Alisuco, La Unión y Lourdes de Cutuglagua, de la parroquia Cutuglagua, cantón Mejía, provincia Pichincha

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to optimize the distribution system of drinking water for the neighborhoods Aida Palacios, Central, Alisuco, La Unión and Lourdes de Cutuglagua, Cutuglagua parish, Mejía canton, Pichincha province, complying with current Ecuadorian standards in terms of water quality and quantity. Because the current system has already fulfilled its useful life, causing the demand of the population not to be met, so a new design must be made to replace the current distribution system, taking into account a useful life of 25 and 30 years, considering the population growth of the neighborhoods from population censuses, besides an evaluation of the current system was made. Design alternatives include five reserve tanks, two closed distribution networks, an open distribution network, and an operation and maintenance plan for existing water treatment units, based on this design, a reference work budget was made through the analysis of unit prices (APUS), plans of the reserve tanks and plans containing the planimetry and georeferenced altimetry of the optimized distribution network.
