Mapeamento das pressões em serviço da rede de abastecimento de água de Tupãssi - PR

Abstract

In view of the contemporary scenario of growing concern about the management of water resources, the correct management of a water supply system (SAA) is dependent on the correct diagnosis of this system. However, some sanitation companies, especially small ones, do not have the technical staff to make this possible. This article has the aim of simulating the water wide supply of the Water Supply Service of Tupãssi – PR (SAATU) in the Epanet software, and propose alternatives that optimize the system in relation to the control of the pressures in the wide. By topographical survey and populating the city, mapping the water distribuiton wide and collecting other importante data, a general diagnostico of the water wide supply was carried out, as well as simulations for various temporal and operational scenarios. It was observed in all the simulated scenarios that the system operates ar pressures below that accptable by NBR 12218:94. Therefore, alternatives were provided that solves problems related to the pressure identified during the development of this article and in the simuations, as well as the indication of physical interferences in the system that wold allow na improvement in the management and operation of the system.
