DIMENSIONAMENTO E ORÇAMENTAÇÃO DE UM SISTEMA DE APROVEITAMENTO DE ÁGUA DE CHUVA

Abstract

This work aims to demonstrate the importance of the use of rainwater in the rural region of Monsenhor Paulo, Minas Gerais, and for this reason it develops the following theme: "Dimensioning and budgeting of a rainwater harvesting harvesting system". Such an approach is justified by the fact that at certain times of the year there is no water for all activities developed in the rural environment, such as animal watering. This deficit is accentuated by the increasing water demand due to the irrational use of water resources and the lack of sustainable supply practices. The main objective of this study is to size and budget a rainwater harvesting system at a rural property in the municipality of Monsenhor Paulo-MG. And, among the other specific objectives are, to study the precipitation of the region, to analyze the pluviometric variations over the years; determine the average consumption per developed rural activity and analyze the components of a rainwater harvesting system. This purpose will be achieved through a bibliographic review and comparative case study. The study will be developed in a small town in the south of Minas Gerais, Monsenhor Paulo, in a rural area where the percentage of water has been a major problem for the locals. Then, it is possible to increase this flow of water to be used in rural properties, taking advantage of rainwater. The analysis of this research demonstrated the importance of this system for this dimensioned area, which has been suffering from the scarcity of this vital resource.
