Diseño de las obras de captación y red de distribución de agua para el consumo en los barrios: La Isla, Santo Domingo etapa I, II y III de la parroquia Cutuglagua, Cantón Mejía, provincia Pichincha

Abstract

The present study wants to improve the current service to the problems of the residents of the neighborhoods: La Isla, Santo Domingo stage I, II and III, Cutuglagua Parish, Caredntón Mejía, Province of Pichincha that didn´t have efficient hydraulic structures for water supply. To the population, therefore, alternatives are proposed to improve the availability of the water supply, making the most of the water resource available in the “Canoas” stream. The hydraulic design of the collection work, conduction line and supply network was made with the application of technical criteria established in current Ecuadorian regulations and compilation of information from several authors. The design was carried out for a horizon period of 30 years. To obtain basic information, we had the collaboration of the technical department of the Empresa Pública Municipal de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado del Cantón Mejía EPAA-MEJIA, EP, who provided the topographic study of the analyzed area; additionally, a hydrological study was made, and since there was no demographic data for the project, a population was applied to know the reference population, from which the design flow was determined. The hydraulic design of the project was made using electronic shreadsheets, which facilitated data analysis and visualization of calculations. For the conduction line and supply network, a one-dimensional simulation was developed by with the software WaterCAD, which allows for didactic visualization of the flow performance in different operating scenarios.
