Integración de modelos hidráulicos y sistemas de información geográfica, para la elaboración y dimensionamiento de redes de distribución de agua potable

Abstract

Abstract: This work is categorized as a review work that focuses on the study of the state of the art of the integration of hydraulic models and GIS. To achieve this, bibliography related to the topic was collected and analyzed, then the WaterGEMS software was used in which the interoperability and connectivity tools with ArcGIS were studied and evaluated, finally applying an example of a network section in the San Lorenzo Canton, this It was conceived with information from the GAD Cantonal. Relevant concepts and conclusions were obtained from the tools that allow the integration between the two office models. Another aspect of the work is the study of the advantages of integrating a GIS with hydraulic models. In this same line, the need for the Cantonal GAD to generate databases in a GIS that contains hydraulic information on the existing infrastructure, especially the water distribution networks, becomes evident in order to constitute itself as a potential tool of planning, management, maintenance and development.
