It was carried out through the evaluation of the plants and their unit operations, the determination by means of physicochemical and microbiological analyzes of the quality of the drinking water and with these data the design of alternatives based on the requirements of the municipality's drinking water plants was carried out. The methodology that was proposed for this study was both quantitative and qualitative, focusing more on a qualitative design for this particular case.
