SISTEMA DE APROVEITAMENTO DE ÁGUAS PLUVIAIS EM EDIFICAÇÕES RESIDENCIAIS

Abstract

The objective of this work is the development of a project for the use of rainwater for a residence located in the city of Boa Esperança, MG. Firstly, several factors were studied to obtain data for system design, such as rainfall intensity, non-potable water demand to be used in the residence, reservoir volume, among others. After obtaining all these data, it was estimated the volume of rainwater that could be used for the coverage of the residence and the waterproof areas of the same, which is the difference of the volume of water possible to be captured and the volume of discharge, called "first flush" . In this way all components of the systems such as: lower reservoir, upper reservoir, pump, filter, gutters, vertical conductors, horizontal conductors, barrilets, distribution columns, branches and sub-branches were calculated and designed in accordance with current standards.
