Propuesta de mejora del sistema de abastecimiento de agua potable de la comunidad Oyambaro.

Abstract

This study evaluates the hydraulic behavior of the Oyambaro supply and distribution system, which is affected by the quality of its drinking water, since during rainy seasons there are high levels of turbidity, causing discomfort to the inhabitants. To begin with, baseline information was collected, where the community was visited, and samples were taken for in situ analysis. In addition, a topographic survey, inspection, and cadastre of the elements that make up the system were carried out. With the data obtained from the topographic survey, a hydraulic modeling of the system was carried out to determine the conditions under which it works and whether they comply with the design regulations regarding velocities and pressures. After analyzing the system, the following improvement proposals were determined: arrangement of the settling tank, implementation of a slow filter or a fast filter and the adaptation of a coarse mesh to prevent the passage of materials. Finally, these proposals were presented to the drinking water board of the community of Oyambaro, to explain them in an understandable way, resolving any concerns
