Resumen
In the state of Rio Grande do Norte, about 60% of the population has as its
source of drinking water supply system, a water source located beyond its territorial
limits, and are supplied by the main pipeline systems. As a result of the long distances
traveled by the water, witch still needs to overcome elevation gains, the costs of electric
energy consumed by the elevator stations are significantly, referring to the operating
costs of the systems. Water loss management combined with energy efficiency
practices, together with continuous search for infrastructure projects with better
efficiency, tend to reduce operating costs and ensure the sustainability of the systems.
Considering the current characteristics of Monsenhor Expedito’s pipeline system,
responsible for water supply in 30 inner-state cities, and the prerogatives of the new
legal framework of sanitation, the present study intends to contribute to the system’s
improvement through its precise diagnosis, regarding losses and energy cost, and
evaluate alternatives of conception for its expansion, integrating to Armando Ribeiro
Gonçalves’s water dam. The integration of systems allows scenarios of distribution with
greater water security, while its infrastructure renovation would provide minimal
operating costs.
