Proposta de um sistema predial de aproveitamento de águas pluviais para o bloco de laboratórios do Instituto Federal de Goiás(IFG) - Câmpus Jataí

Abstract

The rational use of drinking water, increasingly present in humanity, has been providing the search for efficient alternatives to reduce its consumption. Among these solutions, one of the best known is the rainwater harvesting system for non-potable purposes. The viability of the use of rainwater is characterized by the reduction of the water’s volume provided by the sanitation companies, with the consequence of reducing costs with drinking water and the lower occurrence of flood risks in cases of heavy rains. For the installation of a system such as this, it is essential to dimension the storage tank of the collected rainwater, since this is one of the most expensive items of the project. Thus, this term paper aims to present the framing and design of a rainwater utilization system, as well as the cost of its implementation for the block of laboratories for the bachelor's degree course in Civil Engineering of the Federal Institute of Goiás (IFG) - Jataí Campus. Through market research, the costs related to the implementation of the system were budgeted at R$ 19.122,41 and it was verified that a rainwater harvesting system in the block of laboratories would provide great potential for saving potable water.
