Propuesta de mejoras a los sistemas de agua potable y saneamiento del cantón Cayambe : diseño de un reservorio para el sistema Huayco-Machay.

Abstract

The purpose of this document was to design a reservoir tank for the Huayco-Machay drinking water treatment plant, which provides basic drinking water service to the urban population of the Cayambe canton with water from the thawing of the southern slope of the Cayambe volcano. This document explains all the activities that were carried out to develop the structure of the proposal. Among the main activities carried out were several socializations with representatives of the Empresa Municipal de Agua Potable, Alcantarillado y Aseo Cayambe (EMAPAAC-EP), from which information was obtained on population growth projections for the design period, design flows, storage volume deficit and percentage of drinking water service coverage. In addition, two technical field visits were made in which the following information was obtained: georeferenced points of the possible terrain to implement the project for subsequent hydraulic evaluation in EPANET, georeferenced point cloud of the terrain to implement the reservoir tank with which the terrain profiles and the sizing of the reservoir were made. This document includes a simulation analysis in EPANET to evaluate the hydraulic characteristics for the selection of the suitable land for the implementation of the reservoir, the sizing of a water reservoir tank and a desander in the land chosen by the representatives of EMAPAC-EP, plans of the proposal and a reference budget for the construction of this project for the Huayco-Machay treatment plant.
