This study aimed to present a methodology for locating water distribution reservoirs in rural Andean areas (isolated areas, low-income population, mountainous region). The research methodology consisted of the following steps: (1) description of the problem; (2) development of the DR location protocol; (3) obtaining an algorithm; (4) calibration and adjustment; and (5) application. The obtained algorithm was based on the classification and overlapping operations of five-parameter maps (pressure limits – pressure in the water supply system from 5 to 40 mH₂O; supply by gravity – guarantee of gravity as energy for water movement; accessibility – use of unprotected areas or with restricted occupation; stability, greater distance from geological fault; and, proximity to population concentration, shorter distance between population centres). The overlapping of these parameters enabled us to identify a region of candidate points and select the best location point for the reservoir. The algorithm was applied to a real case indicating satisfactory results. A methodology for locating water distribution reservoirs in rural areas that have important economic constraints, difficult access (mountainous region) and high geospatial dispersion was found. Improvements in methodological steps can still be considered, for example, forecasting the use of pressure control devices in the water supply system.

这项研究旨在提出一种在安第斯山区农村地区（孤立地区，低收入人口，山区）中寻找水库的方法。研究方法包括以下步骤：（1）问题描述；（2）开发DR定位协议；（3）获得算法；（4）校准与调整；（5）申请。所获得的算法基于五参数图的分类和重叠操作（压力极限–供水系统中的压力从5到40 mH ₂O; 通过重力供应–确保重力作为水运动的能量；可及性–使用无保护区或限制职业；稳定性，距地质断层的距离更大；并且接近人口集中度，人口中心之间的距离更短）。这些参数的重叠使我们能够识别候选点的区域并选择储层的最佳位置点。该算法已应用于表明令人满意结果的实际案例。人们找到了一种在农村地区的配水库中定位的方法，这些地区具有重要的经济限制，难以通行（山区）和高度的地理空间分散。仍然可以考虑方法步骤的改进，例如，预测供水系统中压力控制设备的使用。
