Evaluación de la calidad del agua y del sistema de abastecimiento de agua de la junta administradora de agua potable de San Antonio de Chillo Jijón-Amaguaña.

Abstract

This project was based on field data obtained through the development of scheduled activities, these activities allow for verifying the state of a drinking water supply system located in the San Antonio neighborhood. This following project developed the structural cadastre and obtained information on the catchment points, water conduction, storage, and distribution of the drinking water network, which is responsible for supplying 13 families belonging to the San Antonio de Chillo and San Fernando neighborhoods. The system has a total of 7 hydraulic components: two water catchment galleries, two catchment tanks, a drive pump, storage, and chlorination tank, and a distribution pump with the hydropneumatic tank. The obtaining of metric data was carried out through the development of topographic surveys which allows the creation of longitudinal plans of the network and the obtaining of relevant data for the application of the free hydraulic evaluation software EpaNET. The information obtained by the hydraulic evaluation in a permanent and not permanent regime allowed the creation of a proposal for improvements to correct operating errors when compared with the minimum and maximum permissible limits of the Design Standard for Drinking Water Supply Systems, Disposal of Faeces, and Liquid Waste in a Rural Area. The structural cadastre of the fieldwork evidenced the poor state of maintenance presented by the hydraulic structures and the distribution lines, the need to instruct those in charge of the work allowed the creation of an operation and maintenance manual that will be delivered through a socialization talk.
