Implementación del golpe de ariete ecológico y aprovechamiento en el abastecimiento de agua potable en Cajamarca, 2023.

Abstract

The absence of drinking water supply networks to provide this resource to Peruvian families is a latent problem, in addition to the topography in highland areas such as Cajamarca, where water sources are located at lower elevations than the localities or social groups that require water to meet their needs. In such a way the research work aims to analyze the implementation of the ecological water hammer for the impulsion of drinking water to the town of Pueblo Nuevo in the district of San Bernardino, province of San Pablo - Cajamarca, proposing as a viable solution to this problem, the use of ecological water hammer pumps. This research work has a descriptive exploratory scope; a functional prototype of a ram pump with recycled materials was developed for a sample of 33 families in the area where the project is involved and 1 study unit, knowing that the area to intervene is a population expansion of the same locality that does not have drinking water service. The results have made it possible to determine the amount of spring water, with a flow rate of 0.5 l/s, used to supply the town, knowing that the population is rural and in accordance with the Peruvian Technical Design Standard: Technological Options for Sanitation Systems in Rural Areas, it corresponds to an 80 l/inhabitant per day, for a sanitation system with hydraulic dragging; which makes a total of 10560 l/day. In the first test with an inlet difference of 3 m, an amount of 14058 l/day, in the second test with a difference of 8 m an amount of 38880 l/day, up to the fifth test with a difference of 18 m an amount of 87480 l/day. It was determined that the project is viable since it will be able to supply drinking water to the locality, satisfying the need in its entirety, as long as the correct manufacture and installation of the accessories of the ecological ram pump is carried out. We noticed that the results are optimal from the first test, but being conservative it was decided to opt for the maximum water flow. A direct cost of S/ 1487.50 soles was obtained for construction costs of the ecological ram pump, water pre-filter, conduction and impulsion network; having as final analysis that it is a profitable project in the long term despite the fact that the operation of the ram pump itself has a waste of 30% of water generated by its operation, but it becomes an important waste, since it keeps alive the ecosystem under the spring that provides drinking water.
