Resumo: Water is vital for human survival, health and dignity. However, freshwater resources are under increasing pressure due to increasing population growth and increasing economic activities. Water supply systems, due to their complexity and specificity, introduce a certain degree of production loss. Therefore, in Mozambique, there is a great concern of the water distribution company and the researchers in the search for solutions for the implementation of operational processes that minimize water losses. Thus, the research aimed to evaluate water losses in the supply network in the Municipality of Chimoio, Zone 25 de Junho. The study was based on the determination of the water balance, hydraulic modeling and its calibration, using the Epanet 2.0 Software. The results obtained indicate that the rate of water losses in the supply network was 25% and losses significantly influenced the pressure and flow variables.

Sin embargo, los recursos de agua dulce están bajo una presión cada vez mayor debido al aumento de la población y al aumento de las actividades económicas. Los sistemas de abastecimiento de agua, por su complejidad y especificidad, introducen un cierto grado de pérdida de producción. Por lo tanto, en Mozambique existe una gran preocupación de la empresa distribuidora de agua y de los investigadores en la búsqueda de soluciones para la implementación de procesos operativos que minimicen las pérdidas de agua. Así, la investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar las pérdidas de agua en la red de abastecimiento del Municipio de Chimoio, Bairro 25 de Junho. El estudio se basó en la determinación del balance hídrico, modelado hidráulico y su calibración, utilizando el Software Epanet 2.0. Los resultados obtenidos indican que la tasa de pérdidas de agua en la red de abastecimiento fue del 25% y las pérdidas influyeron significativamente en las variables de presión y caudal.A água é vital para a sobrevivência humana, saúde e dignidade.  No entanto, os recursos de água doce estão sob pressão crescente devido ao aumento do crescimento populacional e aumento de atividades económicas. Os sistemas de abastecimento de água, por sua complexidade e especificidade, introduzem um determinado grau de perda da produção. Por isso, em Moçambique, verifica-se uma grande preocupação da companhia de distribuição de água e dos investigadores na busca de soluções para implementação de processos operacionais que minimizem as perdas de água. Assim, a pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar as perdas de água na rede de abastecimento no Município de Chimoio, Bairro 25 de Junho. O estudo baseou-se na determinação do balanço hídrico, modelação hidráulica e sua calibração, utilizando o Software Epanet 2.0. Os resultados obtidos indicam que o índice de perdas de água na rede de abastecimento foi de 25% e as perdas influenciaram de uma forma significativa nas variáveis pressão e caudal.Research, Society and Development2022-04-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2853510.33448/rsd-v11i6.28535Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 6; e4911628535Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 6; e4911628535Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 6; e49116285352525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/28535/24964Copyright (c) 2022 António Khanlawia; Gonzaga Chilole; Luís Cristóvão https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessKhanlawia, António Chilole, Gonzaga Cristóvão , Luís2022-05-13T18:04:10Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/28535Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:45:53.927250Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
