Formulación de un sistema de abastecimiento de agua por método de bombeo

Abstract

Water extraction method through artisan water wells is effective at areas lacking rivers or nearby surface water bodies. Thus, this method entails to use groundwater since it is used to supply drinking water to individual houses, in urban agglomerations, in agricultural projects for irrigation and for animal use. Correspondingly, many industries consume large amounts of water by the use of this resource. One of the aspects that make groundwater particularly useful for human consumption is the less pollution subjected to it. As well as, the filtering capacity of the soil makes the groundwater purer than surface water. The purpose of this work is to design a pumping system for the Esperanza farm located in the Espinal-Tolima municipality. This will improve the system currently installed by supplying the water demand of the inhabitants of the farm, and being affordable. For this study, the quantitative methodology was applied, with a Non-Experimental design, since to comply with the proposed hypotheses. The information was taken from the study´s area as it is presented without modifying any variable. Of the four storage tanks that the farm owns, only one shows insufficient storage resources to supply the water needs for which it is intended. Therefore, an efficiency comparison analysis is performed between both systems, where an estimated average improvement of 27% was obtained with the implementation of the proposed system. At the same time, the system was designed based on technical specifications, with minimum quality standards. However, how it is a system applied to such a limited group, it is not possible to obey some specifications since these are applied to supply systems for larger communities. Finally, this study is reflected in a plan designed to illustrate, through a graphic representation, the installation of the proposed system.
