Diagnóstico de Sistemas de Acueductos Rurales en el Municipio de Victoria - Caldas, con caso aplicativo de diseño hidráulico de tratamiento de agua potable para un sistema que lo requiera

Resumen

In the present research project, the characterization of fourteen (14) rural aqueducts of the municipality of Victoria Caldas was carried out, of the environmental, administrative and infrastructure conditions that exist for the realization of a diagnosis with these parameters. Technical reconnaissance visits were made to the infrastructure of the rural aqueducts, the micro-basins from which they are supplied, in order to know the complete panorama of the existing situation, allowing the deficiencies and needs of each of them to be identified. , this as an element to establish the intervention recommendations that were considered most relevant for the optimal functioning and provision of the aqueduct service in the rural area of the municipality of Victoria Caldas. During the elaboration of the investigation, surveys were applied to the people in charge of the administration of the aqueducts and to people from the communities who knew the state and the conditions in which each of the rural aqueducts provides the service. In the same way, an aqueduct that has shortcomings in its infrastructure and water quality was identified for the realization of an intervention proposal that would improve the service. This type of study is highly relevant in the region, taking into account that despite being an area with great water wealth, a large part of the rural population does not have drinking water service, due to the shortcomings of rural aqueducts.
