    Optimización del sistema de distribución de agua potable del barrio Mollepamba, parroquia Saquisilí, cantón Saquisilí, provincia de Cotopaxi

    At present, the Mollepamba neighborhood, in the Saquisilí canton, has a gravity distribution system which is not working correctly, because it is about to reach its useful life of 25 years, which has brought overpressure failures in the pipes due to the fact that they do not have pressure regulating valves and deterioration in the distribution tank. It started with a topographic survey of the entire neighborhood, with the help of a drone and RTK, applying the photogrammetry technique. Site visits were made to assess the conditions of the land, the reserve tank and the pipes that carry the water. The distribution system was modeled with the help of simulation software (EPANET) in a static and dynamic state, for which it was identified that there are deficiencies, for which it was determined that it would be necessary to propose an optimization in the existing design. The drinking water distribution system is made up of a length of 4.33 km of pipes, which are distributed throughout the neighborhood, the sector has an area of 50 ha of land, its hydraulic design was carried out under static and dynamic scenarios, based on design parameters in accordance with national regulations. The project includes evaluation matrices, calculation memory, network plans, and the implementation of reducing valves; in addition to a technical-economic analysis in which a referential budget and technical specifications are presented.
