Aproveitamento da água da chuva em comunidades quilombolas

Abstract

The present work proposed the pre-dimensioning of a system for the use of rainwater with the intention of serving the members of quilombola communities in Minas Gerais who have an interest in using rainwater in their plantations or inside their homes, but for non potable purposes since its treatment requires deeper knowledge and adequate place and equipment for such. The water use system must be carried out individually so that the specificities of each residence and its inhabitants are taken into account, providing a more assertive result. In this study, then, the calculations that could be simplified were worked out, generating tables and a step-by-step in a booklet. With this it will be possible to have knowledge about the volume of water to be collected and the materials and products needed to implement the system, that is, if the existing roof of the residence will be able to meet the consumption of its inhabitants and the approximate investment needed for the implementation of the system.
