Reuso de água da chuva coletada no bloco C da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná câmpus Campo Mourão

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implantation of a water reuse system on the C block from Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná campus Campo Mourão. Considering that public agencies are places that usually receive a large amount of people and require maintenances such as cleaning and hygiene constantly, which increases water consumption. The Universidade Tecnologica Federal do Paraná fits this pattern, which makes it an important object of this study. It’s important to use the pluvial water reuse system on UTFPR to obtain a rationalization of potable water and thus preserve the water resources on the region. This study collected data on household cleaning and hydro sanitary appliances in two stages, during vacations and during school year. These data allows us to obtain the estimated consumption along with precipitation data from the past 11 years on the region, the 20m³ tank was calculated using the Rippl diagram. Performing a budget could confirm the possibility of deploying this system at Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná campus Campo Mourão and it would have a payback period of investment in approximately 6 years and 6 months if the university would be charged for the water used, it would provide a saving of 520m³ per year of potable water.
