Estudio y diseño de la red de distribución de agua potable del barrio 18 de noviembre del cantón Yacuambi, provincia de Zamora Chinchipe

Abstract

Abstract: This project was based on the study and design of the drinking water distribution network in the 18 de Noviembre neighborhood of the Yacuambi Canton, Zamora Chinchipe Province. Technical factors such as current population, topography, social characteristics of the study area, etc. were considered. Other parameters were also considered: service area, design period, flow rates, and supplies, among others. Hydraulic modeling was performed using WaterGEMS software, taking into account the design bases and hydraulic parameters stipulated in the Ecuadorian technical standard CPE INEN 5-9-1. The network design is meshed and supplied by gravity through a reservoir. It was analyzed in three scenarios (static, dynamic, and fire). Once the analysis was completed and all technical and hydraulic parameters were assessed, the project's reference budget was prepared, totaling $131,691.20 (excluding VAT). The plans detail the network layout and its components.
