Abstract

The purpose of this document is to design the project for the collection, conduction and storage of water in the town of Virgen de Lourdes, located in the La Merced parish. This document seeks to provide the fundamental service of drinking water to the rural community and take advantage of the water resources of a source on the hillside. In the neighborhood, they socialized with community leaders and representatives of the Decentralized Autonomous Government (GAD), where information on population growth was collected for the design and a visit was made to the hillside spring. In addition, three technical visits to the field were carried out, during which the following information was obtained: detailed recognition of the place, georeferenced points of the catchment, as well as the identification of a possible site for the storage tank. Subsequently, the land was evaluated using a longitudinal profile and the corresponding designs for collection, conveyance and storage were carried out. This document addresses the hydraulic analysis linked to the collection, conduction and storage required for the project. The choice of the possible site to size the storage tank was carried out by the directors of the Virgen de Lourdes neighborhood. A reference budget proposal is incorporated to build this project on the neighborhood's hillside spring.
