Abstract

Abstract: This work focuses on the design of a potable water distribution network for the communities of Panía, Tuntiak and Kurintza, located in the parish of San Francisco de Chinimbimi, canton Méndez. The methodology implemented is based on hydraulic modeling through the WaterGEMS software, for this it was necessary to conduct a demographic study where population information was collected and defined the basis of design, and a topographic study of the study area for which aerial photogrammetry was applied, then, the design was reflected in the construction plans and the reference budget. The results include the population and future demand projected for 20 years, digital models that represent the topography of the terrain and the hydraulic results of the modeling, as well as the construction plans and the reference budget for the design of the distribution networks. In conclusion, this study provides a technical, feasible and applicable solution to the need of distributing drinking water in the beneficiary communities, using innovative tools that speed up the design process and respecting the Ecuadorian regulations in force.
