Resumo:
Currently, many water supply systems collect and monitor data daily, among which we
can highlight values of reservoir levels, pressures, demands, in addition to electrical
consumption data. The generated data becomes information providing the necessary knowledge
to direct the manager to carry out actions and decision-making in general. In addition, R is a
software widely used for statistical analysis and recently in some works, a functionality of R
coupling to Epanet was presented, such as: ARANDIA and ECK (2018), MACEDO (2020) and
BARBEDO (2021) fact that facilitates the analysis of various hydraulic scenarios. Thus, this
dissertation aims to evaluate the potential use of R and Epanet in a database of water supply
systems, for this purpose it was considered for the methodology to propose a theoretical water
distribution network and evaluate scenarios simulation and the results from R.After coupling,
the proposed network was simulated with the variation of the reservoir level and demands in
several different scenarios, thus obtaining several results. It was possible to automate the
analysis process, generating graphical tables and statistical data regarding the dispersion of
demands, pressures and flows resulting in the nodes and in the stretches from each demand
variation and reservoir levels that were stored. The results obtained proved the compatibility
and practicality of the mathematical model of water distribution designed in the Epanet software
simulated in the R software.
