Propuesta de tratamiento del agua de consumo y Manual de operación y mantenimiento del sistema de abastecimiento de la comunidad de Nitiluisa

Abstract

This present work describes the activities of functioning, operation and maintenance of the drinking water supply system of the Nitiluisa Community, located in the Calpi canton, Chimborazo province. Project that arises from the requirement to have a technical document to support all these activities, since these activities are carried out empirically or they are simply not carried out.

The project begins with a field visit to the community where the operation, components of the system and its current status were verified. Followed by a sampling of the drinking water in the catchment, distribution and storage tanks and a water tap of a house in the Nitiluisa Centro neighborhood.

From the supply system it was possible to collect qualitative information that allowed us to develop the operation and maintenance manual and from the water sampling, quantitative information was obtained on the physical, chemical and microbiological parameters that helped us to design the treatment proposal for consumption water. Being this a tray aerator and a drip anad constant load hypochlorinator. Treatment that adjusts to the population's requirement to make water drinkable, and to the economic circumstances of the community
