Evaluación de la calidad del agua y optimización de la capacidad de almacenamiento de agua potable para la junta administrativa de agua potable y saneamiento, cantón Mejía, parroquia de Cutuglagua.

Abstract

In this project, the quality of water for human consumption and the demand for water distributed by the Rosario & Aymesa Potable Water and Sanitation Administration Board (JAAPS), which supplies seventeen neighborhoods of the parish of Cutuglagua, using two systems by gravity and pumping, work that was carried out through: a tour of the system with the help of an operator, information gathering, photographs, georeferential data, taking samples for on-site and laboratory analysis, obtaining of the cadastral map of the area and socialization with the board of directors. For the water quality analysis, 31 samples were taken distributed in seven points for on site, physicochemical and microbiological analysis with the help of the following equipment: turbidimeter, colorimeter, portable meter, multiparameter. It is worth mentioning that the parameters were analyzed in the CICAM laboratory, and the results obtained were compared based on the current standards of the maximum permissible limits, both for water for human consumption of the INEN 1108-2021 standard and for raw water with the Ministerial Agreement 097-A. For the analysis of water demand, a poll was carried out to determine the number of plots and thus obtain the current population per distribution tank with a consolidation of 74%. The future population was calculated using the geometric progression method, since having economic sustainability allows local development, in addition to having expansion areas, which can be provided with services. For the analysis of the tank volume, a poll was carried out on the operator on the hourly distribution throughout the day and to determine the supply and consumption of the system, in such a way that the required volume to supply the population can be obtained.
