Using techniques and processes applied to water samples, were able to establish new water treatment system , being necessary to place the water within permissible limits and provide excellent water quality , the water treatment plant consists of: a Parshall flume , 2 settlers classic , five filters with cationic resin and a disinfecting tank ( using calcium hypochlorite) . The design of the WTP raised , certifies the quality and condition of the water , making it unfit for human consumption and complying with the requirements of the Standard INEN 1108, so it is recommended to apply the system proposed for waters impaired hardness, total and fecal coliforms and ensure the safety and efficacy to be distributed by the population of Guano city.
