Resumo

The overexploitation of groundwater is a critical global issue, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions with increasing water demands. In the federal capital, unplanned urban growth mirrors challenges faced by other major cities, where indiscriminate drilling of deep tubular wells often occurs without proper hydrogeological assessments. This study addresses the frequent reliance on expanding well-based water supply systems. By conducting hydraulic analysis and network optimization, existing systems can be enhanced to improve flow output. However, data limitations often impede these analyses. This case study evaluates a well intake system, exploring network expansion with new wells and optimizing layouts for efficiency. The findings offer valuable insights for diagnosing and expanding water supply systems in developments under data constraints, emphasizing cost-effective and timely solutions.
