Traditional design of drinking water distribution systems considers the demand using a deterministic approach, not taking in account the stochastic nature that is inherent in this phenomenon. This leads to unrealistic modeling. In this paper, an analysis methodology is proposed aimed to calculate the maximum design flows considering the random nature of the demand. The influence of the correlation between nodal demands is also considered as an important factor. To do this, a method based on Monte Carlo simulation is proposed, allowing to use of both random and diffuse variables (whose uncertainty nature cannot be considered as probabilistic). In the first chapter a brief description of the methodology to be used is presented. In the second chapter, the theoretical basis for the development of the thesis is exposed. In the following chapter a review of the state of the art is made regarding the approaches that are used for demand modeling in conventional design. In the fourth chapter we study the models that are currently being developed for demand modeling in water distribution systems, whose approach is stochastic and / or probabilistic. The fifth chapter describes the proposed model, the development of a program for its application, and finally its application to a real project in the national scope. The mentioned program was developed in Python, taking its advantages as a numerical simulation platform. As a hydraulic analysis engine, the EPANETTOOLS library is used, allowing to utilize analysis commands of the EPANET program developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The applicability of the model for a medium-sized network was presented, showing its advantages for a rational design based on the numerical analysis of uncertainty.
