ESTUDO DE VIABILIDADE DE UM SISTEMA DE CAPTAÇÃO DE ÁGUA DE CHUVA PARA USO DOMÉSTICO NÃO POTÁVEL NA CIDADE DE VARGINHA

Abstract

This paper describes the methods used in Brazil to measure the volume of a tank to capture rainwater. The shortage of drinking water for humans is a topic that is becoming increasingly present and worrying. Preserve drinking water for its most noble purposes, such as consumption, hygiene and food preparation is something that is becoming standard throughout the world. MG - as a place of study, the municipality of Varginha was chosen. For the construction of the work, a specific literature review and were estimated variables such as rainfall catchment area (roof), average rainfall and average number of people per household. From the data obtained, we calculated what would be the most viable method for the design of a reservoir. The method chosen was Rippl method. Then combined the different variables for the installation of a rainwater collection system, in order to determine the best turnaround time.
