DIMENSIONAMENTO DO SISTEMA DE APROVEITAMENTO DE ÁGUA PLUVIAL PARA FINS NÃO POTÁVEIS EM INSTITUIÇÃO DE ENSINO NA CIDADE DE PARAGUAÇU - MG

Abstract

Currently, the shortage of drinking water for human consumption is a reality, especially in large urban centers. This scenario reveals a disturbing environmental crisis is a result of climate change, natural resource depletion, water pollution and excessive consumption of drinking water. In this scenario the reuse of rainwater is a way to minimize these effects, ie reduces the volume of water that would go to the urban drainage system. Moreover, it is important to note that reuse has the advantage of financial returns when the rainwater reuse system is correctly sized. This work aimed to develop a rainwater utilization project for the private school building, located in the city of Paraguaçu Minas Gerais. First it started a search on websites, standards and technical literature in general, in order to acquire the theoretical concepts necessary for the preparation of the project. Later went to the collection of rainfall data in the study area, the existing systems in school were analyzed, the company visits and interviews with employees and managers to better analyze the situation, determining potential to capture water Showers coverage. The next step was to measure and verify: the rails, vertical and horizontal conductors, the choice of filter, reservoirs, pumps and finally, the distribution network, so it was prepared to take advantage of design for the purpose of evaluating the feasibility deployment.
