Construcción de modelo hidráulico y análisis de la red distribución de agua potable de Pamplona, Norte De Santander.

Abstract

This project describes the execution of the undergraduate work for the degree of civil engineer, in the form of a research project. This will be carried out in the municipality of Pamplona, Norte de Santander, and its main objective is to develop the construction of a hydraulic model and analysis of the drinking water distribution network of Pamplona, Norte de Santander. The modeling process was carried out after obtaining a set of pertinent information for its correct execution. Initially, the existing information on the water supply network was sought, which can be found in the public water and sewerage service providers or governmental entities such as the mayor's office and/or the governor's office. This information was analyzed and updated to obtain a reliable basis for the development of the project, and the production and demand data of the service users were compared to estimate the demand and flow rates of the distribution network. It was necessary to obtain a digital elevation model (DEM) to obtain the topography of the city and the height of the distribution network elements. The hydraulic model was created in the QGIS tool with the help of the QWATER and QGISRED plug-in, which allowed an efficient integration of geospatial data and hydraulic parameters. This combination facilitated accurate model construction and subsequent macro-calibration of the existing water network. Pressure data taken from existing piezometers in the network were used to perform the calibration.
