Estudio de gradientes hidráulicos en las redes de agua potable, como técnica de apoyo a la localización de fugas de agua

Abstract

Abstract: The problems of leaks in distribution networks drinking water are inevitable due to the difficult determination and costs for both the detection, localization and correction. This work is a contribution in this field of research, trying to determine a simple and economical method accessible to populations that for economic or technical reasons can not access other methods. This method would be based on the changes that have pressure measuring instrument used as one buordon gauge and analysis tool adapt the Statistical Process Control (SPC), in order to use devices and methods that do not raise costs for this technique can be used by local governments for the optimal use of vital fluid. With the implementation of the SPC, the data was obtained under conditions of pressure without leakage result in a process under control, and when the corresponding data were included leakage process status changed out of control. These results are favorable, since this way is how this method Works.
