Propuesta de metodología para la determinación del nivel económico de fugas en una zona de la red de distribución de agua potable.

Abstract

This Graduation Project is based on the implementation of a methodology for determining the economic level of leakage in an area of the drinking water distribution network, the management and control of water for urban and agricultural use, is an important point to reach to better water management. Water leaks in a supply system can have financial, structural and water quality effects. For this reason, effective measures must be taken in supply systems, to obtain a balance between the costs of leakage controls and the cost of lost water. In this equilibrium, called the economic level of leakage, the supply system will work efficiently. A methodology will be implemented to calculate the economic level of leakage, which will serve to take the appropriate actions for an excellent water management. The data for the development were applied with real data for an area of 50,000 people.
