Evaluación del sistema de abastecimiento y tratamiento de agua en la comunidad de San Francisco de Cruz Loma

Abstract

This project proposes to evaluate the water supply system in the community of San Francisco de Cruz Loma, since its collection, adduction, treatment, conduction to its distribution at homes. This system has been empirically implemented by the community, so there is a need to determine the appropriate hydraulic conditions for proper operation, that’s why a modeling was carried out using the EPANET software with assistance of referenced geo points, thus obtaining the planimetry and profiles of the area. Water analyzes of different parameters were performed in the water’s collection like fecal coliforms, as it is one of the most important parameters for disinfection treatment, and also, the presence of solids which have given problems to the system due to the large dragging material to the conduit pipe that caused bad odors in the tank when it wasn’t cleaned at time. For the development of this study, the data of the distribution system were obtained through community surveys with the assistance of the Junta de Agua’s members and directive whom collaborate for several routes to obtain data.
