Análise de perdas em sistemas de abastecimento de Água

Abstract

The water supply systems have been following the evolution of civilizations and cities around the world, with this growth arise problems related to the management of water losses that have worsened in recent decades. decades. Factors such as ageing systems, faulty maintenance poor control and management of the volumes provided are directly linked to losses of this precious liquid. The analysis of losses in water supply systems has shown to be a of general interest for all managers and operators of water supply systems water supply systems (WSS). One of the methods adopted in loss management is water balance developed by the IWA (International Water Association), which based on the Top-Down application in order to investigate the origin of water losses from the top-down, that is, by the volume of water that enters the system minus the volume of water minus the volume of water actually consumed. The present work was undertaken to assess the current efficiency of the water supply system of FIPAG Xai Xai-Xai FIPAG water supply system, as well as to identify the possible causes for certain losses. During the work, it was possible to obtain knowledge on loss management management as well as to deepen the knowledge of the water supply sector. water supply sector.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
