Evaluación de la línea principal de captación y modelación hidraúlica del sistema de agua de consumo humano de la cabecera parroquial de Calpi. propuestas de mejora.

Abstract

The objective of this work is providing a solution that eliminates the volume of water destined for human consumption, which is being wasted towards the Chimborazo River in the systems of water pick up of Calpi and Bayushí community of Riobamba canton, at the same time, the present state and problems related to water is evaluated in the parish center. Through the processing of data obtained in the field and provided by the municipality, two hydraulic models were constructed in Epanet to determine: driving capacity, speed, pressure, and losses of each system under different perspectives. This study also shows systems of water pick up the conditions of pipe and soil do not allow the system to conduct the total water produced. An approximate 2.3 l / s are wasted daily because at the junction of the lines the pressures do not equal, preventing a greater flow in the lower pressure line (New Line). To resolve the conflict of pressures and capacity, it is necessary that the entire pipe be 160 mm and place a pressure reducing valve in the line of greatest strength to equalize it with the other branch. For the collection system, a minimum allocation of 100 l / inhab / day was used and the network behavior was estimated using a reference consumption pattern. It was concluded that the current flow rate of 12.61 l / s is above the needs of the sector during the 2/3 of the day, this indicates an exaggerated volume of input to the network that is justified as expenses of agriculture and industry that are not They waited during the simulation. Regarding the pressures, topographically the system does not have problems of values under the minimum, although there are great pressures in the sectors to the south that must be reduced by placing a valve. It is also recommended to place domiciliary accountants to improve citizen awareness about the use of water.
