Evaluación del sistema de abastecimiento y tratamiento de agua para consumo del barrio El Tambo, Cutuglagua.

Abstract

This project includes an evaluation of the status and operation of the components that are part of the pipeline for pumping and disinfection of drinking water distributed by the Administrative Board of Drinking Water and Regional Sanitation “ROSARIO-AYMESA-SAN FRANCISCO”, through visual inspections, field trips and the EPANET program, to determine the operating status of the system. A survey of geo-referenced points of the network was carried out, from the pumping system to the distribution tank of Barrio Tambo 3. Also, the neighborhoods that comprise Tambo 1 and Tambo 2, technical visits were made to determine the status of the structures, accessories and equipment that comprise the distribution and conduction line. With the data obtained, a hydraulic simulation was carried out, trying with different conditions and parameters such as: speeds, pressures, losses and flows. In addition, the pumping system and the regulating tank were analyzed hydraulically. Subsequently, the disinfection system was evaluated, analyzing residual and total free chlorine at different points of the distribution line. Similarly, physicochemical analyzes were carried out in order to know if the distributed water is acceptable for human consumption within national regulations, for which 4 specific samples were collected, which were analyzed in an accredited laboratory. With the data collected and the results obtained, an informative document and updated plans were prepared for the leaders of the JAAPS. Through a virtual meeting, the results and proposed improvements were presented to the community and leaders.
