Caracterización de la curva de consumo diario de la red de agua potable del sector Huachi Chico II del cantón Ambato

Abstract

The objective of this experimental work was to obtain the characterization of the daily consumption curve of the drinking water network of the Huachi Chico II sector of the Ambato canton. The main methodology for this analysis was the daily record of consumption readings for a period of 60 days, in each of the homes that were taken as part of the sample, which corresponded to 100 homes in the sector; This process is performed in a range of 08H00 to 12H00 of the day. Parallel to this process, the hourly consumption of a single dwelling of the sector was obtained for a period of 7 days and in turn, in the same period of time, information was collected on the pressures of each dwelling, part of the sample, trying to equal way to maintain a specific schedule for the taking of this information. In addition, at the end of taking measurements of daily consumption, time and pressure, surveys were conducted for the inhabitants of the sector in order to know the number of people living in each property, the number of health devices and the typology of the housing, among others. Finally, after all the aforementioned information was collected and tabulated, the expected results were obtained: curves of daily consumption, typical week of daily consumption, patterns of hourly consumption and per capita consumption; where one of the most relevant values obtained is the average per capita consumption of the sector with a value of 177.57 lt / hab / day, which was used to compare with the current regulations in the country.
