Modelagem e otimização da disposição espacial de unidades de reservação em redes de distribuição de água utilizando geotecnologias.

Abstract

This research presents an alternative of modeling and optimizing of the placement of reservoirs units of an Urban Water Supply Systems (UWSS). These systems are studied under the perspective of the decision making support for planning of these systems. Studies in Hydraulic Engineering allied with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) can produce models that improve and optimize diverse aspects related with the water supply in urban areas. The focus is the advances and techniques found in the GIS and the possibility to use it as Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS). This research presents a new methodology for decision making in a planning of UWSS exploring the GIS spatial analysis tools. Using multi evaluation decision, it is produced unsupplied risks maps for urban parcels that can indicate some planning and management actions. It is mapped some zones considered as “the best choice” for locate new reservoirs units, which can support guidelines in the planning for expansion of system.
