SISTEMA DE CAPTAÇÃO DE ÁGUAS PLUVIAIS: Estudo de viabilidade da instalação em uma residência em Boa Esperança-MG

Abstract

This work deals with a rainwater harvesting system. Such an approach is justified because although freshwater is still an abundant resource on the planet, at certain times of the year and in some regions of the world, water demand has become a major problem to be supplied. In this way the systems of rainwater capture gain important importance in the sense of economy and conservation of water resources. The objective of this work is to study the feasibility of the implantation of the system in a residence. This purpose will be achieved through a case study where a single family residence was analyzed, in which a system will be proposed that will collect water from the roof and use it in tasks where drinking water is not required, such as yard washing and discharge of toilet. The residency analysis showed that it is possible to obtain a good monthly water saving, which in addition to saving the price of the tariff, is also a measure of extreme relevance in a scenario of increasingly scarce water resources.
