PROJETO DE APROVEITAMENTO DE ÁGUA DA CHUVA PARA IRRIGAÇÃO DE LAVOURA DE CAFÉ

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to implement, on the farm located in the city of Boa Esperança, Minas Gerais, a project for the use of rainwater for non-potable purposes, in the irrigation of coffee plantations. Initially, the objectives of the subject will be presented, consisting of an analysis of the study site and the definition of parameters and conditions of the existing sites, which make it clear if there is a possibility of locating the systems properly in the field. The regulations described by ABNT, calculations and equations for the respective systems containing descriptions, specifications for reservoir sizing, components necessary to compose the study of the project proposal will also be presented. After specifying the method used, the diagnosis was carried out using its methodology, in which the study area was 59.194 m2, with an intensity of rain of 141.50 mm / h, and verified that there is a need for the project to take advantage of rainwater, as its volume of rainwater is necessary to supply its monthly demand, approximately 1170 m3 / month, thus making it possible to implement a lower reservoir.
