Riassunto:The issues of leaks in drinking water supply networks impose an incomprehensible burden on society, reflecting the social stigma, environmental failure, and additional economic costs for EMAPA-I company. This research aims to determine the impact of leakage in drinking water distribution networks in the city of Ibarra. In addition, the areas with the greatest number of leaks are located, identifying causes and problems, determining the total amount of uncontrolled water, and updating unrecorded water use. For this purpose, a methodology with a mixed approach was applied, i.e., quantitative for data collection, analysis of the water balance, estimation of the volume of uncontrolled water and detection of leaked water, and qualitative to collect on-site information on the possible problems in the areas with the highest incidence of leaks. Consequently, it is determined that the unaccounted water in the year 2021 is 38.60%, a result that assignsthe city of Ibarra to a category B corresponding to a "Medium" performance as stipulated in the ARCA. Furthermore, it is concluded that the net with the highest loss is San Juan Poglyo at 47.29%, followed by Azaya at 41.81% and Guaraczapas at 41.71%.
