Análisis de aguas no contabilizadas en el barrio Tres de Mayo mediante macro medición por ultrasonido

Abstract

In Ecuador, one of the most common problems among drinking water systems is non-revenue water, which represents the loss of water resources during the distribution and supply processes. This phenomenon generates significant economic and environmental impacts, such that water losses are estimated to be between 50% - 60% in our country. Given the seriousness of this problem, the aim is to quantify the unaccounted-for water in an urban area of the city of Cuenca known as Barrio Tres de Mayo (Rio Amarillo). For this purpose, Ultrasonic bulk water metering will be used, using the water entering the system, the registered consumption of users with meters and the estimated consumption of users without drinking water meters.
