Propuesta de regulación de presiones en una sección de la red de distribución de agua potable del cantón Jipijapa. Circuitos abastecidos desde el tanque “El Calvario”.

Abstract

The objective of this work is to model a branched network belonging to sector 4 of the Jipijapa canton in the province of Manabí through the use of EPANET software with the purpose of knowing the hydraulic behavior and pressure analysis in the pipes for said sector. Once the simulation has been carried out, the model will be calibrated to determine the losses caused by leaks, the intermittency in the supply of the fluid and the verification of 80% of unaccounted-for water. In such a way that the development of this activity, allows to present a model where the installation of pressure reducing valves will be proposed in the critical points of the network in order to achieve the objective of guaranteeing a pressure of 15 meters of water column. for the sector in question.
