PROJETO DE APROVEITAMENTO DE ÁGUA PLUVIAL PARA O CONDOMÍNIO RESIDENCIAL RESERVA DAS FLORES, NO MUNICÍPIO DE BOA ESPERANÇA - MG.

Abstract

Rainwater harvesting systems are highly capable tools for mitigating floods, combating water scarcity and reducing financial expenses, in addition to making a significant contribution to environmental protection. The objective of this work is, therefore, to carry out an in-depth study to assist in the development of a rainwater collection and use system project in the Reserva das Flores residential area, located in the city of Boa Esperança/MG. To increase specific knowledge about these systems, an extensive study of literature, websites and technical standards was carried out, aiming to provide the maximum amount of knowledge necessary to prepare the project. Subsequently, studies were carried out to collect data corresponding to historical precipitation series to describe rainfall regimes in the region. Then, values relating to the dimensions of the buildings and the dimensions of the roofs were collected. Information was also collected on the number of people using the common space and the possible amount of drinking water consumed daily to maintain the space. After acquiring all the necessary knowledge, we began sizing all the components that make up the system, which are: drains, vertical conductors, lower and upper reservoirs, lifting system and distribution network. In this way, the project is prepared, costs are estimated and, finally, a descriptive and computational memorial is developed, presenting the project and specifying all the materials and services that must be used during its execution.
