The shortage of drinking water and sanitation is the main cause of diseases in the world. In 2002, 42% of households lacked toilets and one in six people did not have access to potable water. In developing countries, more than 90% of deaths from diarrhea due to unsafe water and lack of hygiene occur in children under five years of age. The increase of the
population, the increase in the consumption of water and a greater demand of water - due
mainly to the industrialization and the urbanization - are diminishing the hydric resources
in all the world. Conflicts in many parts of the world also threaten children's access to safe
drinking water. UNICEF (2008). Warmer temperatures, rising sea levels, an increasing
frequency of floods and droughts, and melting ice together affect the quality and
availability of water, as well as sanitation systems. Because of this water shortage, which
many communities have and that a future could have all, it is required to design a water
treatment system in the municipality of El Carmen de Bolívar that is focused on defining
the most appropriate water treatment system for the type of water in this municipality and
that is powered by solar energy in order to reduce costs and control environmental impacts
regarding energy savings and provide a stable source of water for these communities and
that they can use as sustenance. Therefore, the present thesis proposes processes to
optimize the treatment system for the type of water found in this municipality of Bolívar,
with a low energy cost, to make this project profitable to be implemented in the Carmen
municipality of Bolíva
