FRAGOSO SANDOVAL, Lucio; RUIZ Y ZURVIA-FLORES, Jaime Roberto  and  TOXKY LOPEZ, Gerardo. Water supply network divisionin to sectors for a better hydraulic efficiency. riha [online]. 2016, vol.37, n.2, pp. 29-43. ISSN 1680-0338.

A projectis described with the objective of making a division into subsectorsof the drinking water network of MHO-31 sectorof Miguel Hidalgo delegation in Mexico city, in order to make a better delivery, distribution and control of water discharge, by using,among other accessories, the installation of pass valves and pressureregulation valves. EPANET software was used to perform its hydraulic analysis.The network model calibration was made with respectto water loss and water discharge, taking intoaccount measured data and the emittercoefficient. The network was modeled for its design alternative, with the pressures regulation valves open and later with this valves in operation.Thisallowed a recovery of a water volume of 14262per day, so the water fligths were reduced in a significant way.

Keywords : hydraulic efficiency; water supply network; pressure regulation; division into sectors.
