PROJETO DE APROVEITAMENTO DE ÁGUA DA CHUVA PARA O EDIFÍCIO COMERCIAL DA EMPRESA VEÍCULOS CRUZEIRO COMÉRCIO LTDA DA CIDADE DE VARGINHA MG

Abstract

Rainwater harvesting systems are tools with a high capacity to alleviate floods, to combat water shortages and to reduce financial expenses, as well as contribute significantly to environmental preservation. In this way, the present work has the purpose of carrying out in-depth studies that are ancillary in the design of a rainwater harvesting and supply system for the commercial building of Veículos Cruzeiro Comércio LTDA, located in the municipality of Varginha / MG. In order to aggregate specific knowledge about these systems, extensive studies were carried out on literatures, websites and technical standards, aiming to assign the maximum amount of knowledge needed to prepare the project. Afterwards, research was done to collect data corresponding to the historical series of precipitation that allows a characterization of the region's rain regime. Subsequently, values were collected referring to the dimensions of the building and dimensions of the cover. Information was also collected regarding the number of people occupying and using the building and an amount of drinking water that is consumed every day. After obtaining all the necessary knowledge, the sizing of all the components that integrate the system began, being these: gutters, vertical conductors, lower and upper reservoirs, lift system and distribution network. In this way the project was elaborated, its estimated cost and finally developed or descriptive and calculation memorial that presents the project and specifies all the materials and services that should be used in its execution.
