Rediseño de la red de distribución de agua potable del sector Jome perteneciente a la parroquia San Mateo del cantón Manta.

Abstract

Due to the population growth in the Jome Sector located in the parish of San Mateo in the City of Manta, there have been problems with the supply of potable water, which has caused its inhabitants to have to hire tankers to transport the supply of water to their homes, a supply that is often not treated properly, causing health problems for the inhabitants of Jome. Due to the citizen discomfort, the problem was sought, which was a deficiency in the potable water supply system, with low pressures in certain points of the area. Developing a deficient redesign for Jome will allow the inhabitants to have a better quality of life. A survey of information was started, both bibliographic and in the field. Through the topographic survey, the conditions of the terrain could be identified, in terms of slopes, maximum and minimum elevations. Points that were taken to the Civil 3D software, to then export them to the Epanet software which allowed us to carry out the pertinent modeling of both the current system and the proposed system, verifying that the speeds and pressures are within the range mentioned in the regulations. The redesign that is projected for a design period of 25 years consists of the implementation of a reinforcement pipe parallel to the existing one of 𝜙63mm, in the same way a bypass or derivation will be made at the exit of the storage tank, allowing the supply to be by gravity and not by pumping as it is currently. Finally, the respective reference budget, conclusions and recommendations are made.
