USO DE ÁGUA PLUVIAL: viabilidade sustentável em edificações residenciais

Abstract

The drinking water found in nature is one of the most essential resources for the growth and multiplication of living organisms, and with the awareness of the importance and preservation of this water resource, techniques for the use of rainwater for residences are emerging, where they cooperate to raise awareness of the rational use of water, thus preserving this essential good to life. From this idea, this work consists of the investigation of the ways of using rainwater in residential buildings, in order to show how the water capture system works, and which the benefits will have, who adapts their residence to the project to use rainwater. The methodology used was based on a case study, with the objective of showing the viability of using rainwater in residential buildings, trying to demonstrate the feasibility of implantation in a residence in Varginha-MG, through the cost benefit that the system provides, and how population awareness can bring a reduction in drinking water consumption, and can be used in residential and public buildings through garden irrigation, sidewalk washing and even in the sanitary basin, where water consumption is relevant, demonstrating the importance of using the capture system in an economical and sustainable way. The research showed that in this building studied, implementing the rainwater harvesting system, where the cost of implementation of this project will be amortized in a little more than 6 years of its use, thus bringing great savings in residence time , in addition to reducing consumption in the daily demand of drinking water, reducing floods, and acting economically and sustainably.
