1.2. GOALS.
1.2.1. GENERAL OBJECTIVE.
The objective of this project is to carry out definitive studies for the groundwater exploitation
system, through pumping wells; for the project to Expand and Improve the drinking water system,
sewerage and treatment plant of the city of Anta-Izcuchaca; district of Anta, Province of Anta –
Cusco.
1.3. BACKGROUND.
Since 1962, when the Peruvian State officially began the basic rural sanitation program, numerous
water supply systems have been built on the coast, mountains and jungle. Currently, there is no
complete knowledge of the state of the aforementioned systems, nor of the quality of the service
they provide.
Experience and specialized literature report that the majority of water supply systems installed in
rural areas stop fulfilling their function within a few years of coming into operation, directly
impacting the health of consumers. It is also recognized that the quality of water for human
consumption depends on some variables, citing as the most important the sources of supply, the
characteristics of the works and the habits in the management of water resources.
The Provincial Municipality of Anta has been making important efforts to substantially improve the
basic drinking water and sewage services of the city of Anta-Izcuchaca. In this sense, Municipality
officials have been managing the execution of this important drinking water and sewage project,
aimed at improving existing services, as well as expanding their coverage.

1.4.2. CLIMATOLOGICAL CONDITIONS.
Climatic conditions are influenced by the El Niño current, which is manifested by rainy periods with
torrential characteristics and high temperatures, which give rise to a high rate of evaporation.
Likewise, there are periods of extensive rainfall and drought.

1.4.3. GROUND RELIEF.
The Project area offers a relief with a gentle and rugged slope.

Exploitation Height: (30 m below the natural terrain).
Approximate land area: 80 m2.
Physical Goal: Construction of underground water exploitation well, electromechanical pump
installations; and delivery of water resources to the wellhead. The pump will be sized to be able
to carry the groundwater to the planned storage system.
A. CONSTRUCTIVE PROCESS:
1- Geometric Location:
We draw the circle where we are going to cut for the excavation.
We must ensure that when cutting and polishing the walls, we preserve the initial shape well,
without allowing walls with over-excavations to be created.
4- Placement of Rings
Placing the first ring: To place the first ring there are no
major difficulties, it is enough to have the ring made,
then mount a tripod to raise it and place it in the exact
position, always verifying the levels.

excavations to be created. Once the desired depth has been achieved, we proceed to place the
next concrete ring.
Placing the second ring: For this operation we hook, in the openings that the rings have, with
three equidistant chains and one at a time. Next, they are lowered into the water well,
superimposing one on top of the other perpendicularly and level until they reach the height of
the natural terrain.
The placement of the rings follows the same process as for the first ring and the second ring,
until reaching the proposed height in each well.
To open the well where the rings will be inserted, specialized labor will be used with special tools
and equipment for deep excavation.
To open the pumping wells, it will be done using specialized labor, with appropriate tools and
equipment and technology that guarantees the safety of the work on site, depending on the nature of
the aquifer.
Each ring must be placed after the excavation has been done.
c) equipment
Each Well will consist of an automatic pumping system, composed of 01 three-phase
submersible pumps with a cooling jacket, which will be accompanied by 01 backup pump with
the same characteristics with a working voltage of 220V, in addition to a control panel that will
automate the system operation.
