For this study will be performed procedures able to increase the available flow in the supply, check the periods when the lowest flows occur, analyze if the water treatment plant has sufficient capacity to meet the demand demanded by the current population, check whether the reservoirs they are sized to the stipulated standard and increase the system loss rate. The procedures will be undertaken to identify and study the shortcomings of this system.
