Propuesta de diseño del acueducto de la vereda de San Vicente del municipio de Oiba, Santander

Abstract

The present work has been oriented towards the construction of a design proposal for the aqueduct of the Vereda San Vicente of the Municipality of Oiba, Santander. This effort responds to the need to develop designs of high technical quality in accordance with the specific conditions of a Colombian Andean rural area, as a contribution to improving the community's access to drinking water. For this reason, it focuses on the research hypothesis that it is possible to achieve an optimal and viable design of a village aqueduct for the aforementioned territory that improves the living conditions of the residents, achieving an adequate supply of this resource.The research approach used is quantitative, which materializes in the application of technical instruments for data collection and with them perform mathematical calculations necessary for the design. Variables such as population, topography, water supply and demand, and environmental conditions were taken into account.With this work, significant findings are achieved for the advancement of engineering and the resolution of social problems in the field of public service provision; For example, the importance of having reliable data, achieving a link between the beneficiaries, following the provisions of the RAS-2000 technical standard and applying the EPANET software as a modeling tool for aqueduct systems is validated. It was possible to arrive at an optimal design that takes into account the projected growth of the population and the flows in the area of influence.
