    Análisis de la dinámica de consumo y distribución del agua potable en la parroquia Santa Ana
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-09-23) Baculima Guamán, Paola Gabriela; Zhingri Dután, Vanessa Estefanía; Mora Serrano, Diego Esteban; Morales Matute, Oscar Patricio
    This study evaluates consumption dynamics and operating conditions of the drinking water distribution system in the rural parish of Santa Ana, Cuenca canton, during the period 2020–2024. The methodology involved collecting consumption records per user and gathering information on existing infrastructure: water intakes, treatment plant, and storage tanks. Descriptive statistical tools in Microsoft Excel and geospatial analysis using QGIS were used for the analysis, which allowed for the spatial representation of consumption patterns and infrastructure distribution. The results show significant differences in consumption levels between communities, with a concentration in lower consumption subranges and the identification of sectors with high demand. These variations, together with possible losses in the system, reveal operational deficiencies that affect the equity and efficiency of resource distribution. In this context, there is a need to strengthen the technical management of the system and promote a more rational and sustainable use of drinking water in the parish.

    Diseño de anclajes de hormigon para deflexiones horizontales y verticales en tuberías apresión
    (2014) Castro Serrano, Pedro José; Cordero Gulá, Fabián
    This paper presents the designs of different anchoring systems for pressure pipes through calculation programs made on Microsoft Excel. Six different kinds of anchoring systems are analyzed: Vertical anchoring concave, vertical anchoring convex, horizontal anchoring concave, vertical anchoring convex, vertical anchoring on foot slope and vertical anchoring on head slope. The calculation programs have an automatic part where the anchoring shape is assume to be square, and a manual part where the user can input the dimensions and check if they satisfy or not with the soil allowable stresses and with the balance of the anchor block. These programs were developed based on theoretical fundaments of hydraulics, mainly on the obtaining of hydrodynamic and hydrostatic forces that are generated inside a pressure pipe; structures, on the sizing of the anchor block and the amount of steel which is necessary for the balance of the forces; and soil mechanics where the ground resistance, active and passive pressure, and the friction between materials are considerate; these theoretical basis are collected within this document. All the information provided in this thesis will serve as support and to make faster the design of anchoring systems process mentioned above.

    Diseño de un sistema de distribución de agua para riego en zonas de alta pendiente para comunidades andinas: aplicación a la comunidad agrícola Namza
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2020-06-05) Moscoso Idrovo, Juan Diego; Zeas Maza, Marco Esteban; Cisneros Espinoza, Felipe Eduardo
    The progressive depletion of water sources and the permanent demand for food, for a constantly growing population, create the need to seek more productive areas, with more efficient and environmentally sustainable irrigation water distribution systems. The Namza agricultural community, being located in the Andes mountain range, presents a rugged topography, where implementing traditional irrigation systems becomes difficult; resulting in low agricultural production. In this sense, this document contemplates the technical study and design of a water distribution system for irrigation in areas of high slope applied in the Namza agricultural community, Chimborazo province. This consists, in the first instance, of information obtained from field inspections and workshops with users that were developed in order to know the current state of the existing irrigation water distribution system, the irrigation needs and production of the farmers. Subsequently, a topographic study was carried out, with the aim of preparing the cadastre of the users with the right and therefore the respective planning of the irrigation shifts. In addition, an analysis of slopes of the study area was carried out, through geographic information system (GIS) programs, to determine the values of irrigable area and non-irrigable area that each plot owns; followed by an edaphological and climatological study to obtain characteristic parameters that allowed the calculation of the water requirements of the project. Finally, adequate hydraulic criteria were established to conceive an efficient design, capable of solving the water needs of the community's farmers. To design the irrigation water distribution system, EPANET free software was used as the main tool, which constitutes specialized software and allows reliability of the results. As part of the comprehensive design proposal, the study includes construction plans, technical design report, system operation and maintenance manual, and construction budget.

    Drenaje sostenible aplicado a la edificación del aulario de ciencias básicas en el Campus Balzay
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-03-16) Romero Tigmasa, Edisson Gabriel; Vega Méndez, Edisson Xavier; Idrovo Murillo, Diego Benjamín
    The purpose of this project is to carry out the design of a sustainable drainage system in the Basic Sciences Classroom at the Balzay Campus of the University of Cuenca, which allows efficient use of rainwater in a technical and innovative way. The design proposal is presented as an alternative for saving drinking water in use as flush toilets and urinals, where engineering concepts will be used to provide solutions to the different components of the system. The drainage will be made up of the rainwater collection, transport, storage and distribution system for its respective application. In addition, the sizing of all system components will be carried out in accordance with Ecuadorian standards and implemented design guidelines. In this project, different scenarios were taken into account that may occur when carrying out the design, such as; the precipitation analysis of the last 10 years, the analysis of the driest season and the analysis of half of the catchment area, taking the best option, so that the water supply guarantees the adequate functioning of the sanitary devices. Finally, the implementation of the project is technically feasible, but the results show that an investment of 44278.50 dollars is required, which is initially high, therefore, it can become a problem, if the investment for its implementation is not available. building. In addition, this project seeks to raise awareness to mitigate the impact caused by the inappropriate use of drinking water, through the rainwater collection alternative proposed in the project
