Desarrollo de una propuesta de mejoras al sistema de abastecimeinto de agua para la comunidad San Antonio del Punge, Quiroga.

Abstract

The present titling project is to determine the quality of water for consumption in the community of San Antonio de Pungue, which begins with the first technical visit for the collection of data and basic information, as well as a survey of georeferential points to determine the points to be sampled. The sampling points were the catchment, treatment plant and distribution tank, after which in-situ analyses were carried out at these points, sampling parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, pH, color, odor, taste, electrical conductivity, flow measurement, etc. After the in-situ analysis in a second technical visit with the collection of data, a survey was presented to the residents containing questions that are adapted to the reality of the population to know the current conditions in which they live. Once the surveys were carried out with the permission of the community water board, samples were collected based on the sampling plan to carry out the laboratory analysis, taking into account storage, labeling, temperature, transport, and other considerations. Once all the parameters in the system were analyzed, we proceeded to compare the ranges based on INEN 1108:2011 and Book VI Annex I of the Unified Text of Secondary Legislation of the Ministry of Environment, determining that the water contains a large amount of fecal coliforms according to the processed data and that it is not within the ranges. With this data, we proceeded to make proposals for the improvement plan such as the implementation of a drip hypochlorinator to provide an economical disinfection treatment and, above all, quality water for consumption. At the end of the analysis of samples and proposals are presented to the community of San Antonio de Pungue to carry out the implementation of the plan.
