Resumen
The principal purpose of this study consists in the optimization of the water distribution
system from the neighborhoods San Luis, La Moya and Miraflores from the parish Aloasí, canton
Mejia, with a solution for the regulation of the exceeding hydric resource in winter seasons. The
actual water system has an open network configuration and has been affected by the demographic
growth and the depletion of its shelf life of the elements belonged to the network, which is
evidenced at critical points.
For the present project census surveys were conducted, socioeconomically surveys, a
geological-geotechnical study, cartographic information, of consumptions, of capacity, and
hydraulic structures, and later an evaluation of the system was carried out and its behavior in
simulations of 10, 20 and 30 years through computer package WaterCad, considering the
population growth in the neighborhoods and the increase in demand consumption. Once the system
was analyzed, we proceeded with optimization where sections of pipeline in the network were
modified, new pressure break tanks were added, pressure break valves were implemented, the
current distribution tank was readjusted and a regulation tank was designed hydraulically.
As deliverable products, a referential budget was made through an economic analysis of
the optimization and drawings containing the georeferenced planimetry and altimetry of the
optimized distribution network, together with the details of the projected hydraulic installations.
