Modelo de aplicación de un sistema de recolección y aprovechamiento de aguas lluvia: MASRALL

Abstract

The current demand for water resources and the high consumption costs that an educational institution can have leads to the idea of generating rainwater harvesting as a sustainable alternative in the economic and environmental field. This project presents the design of a manual for the implementation of a rainwater collection and use system at the Universidad La Gran Colombia (block I) in the central headquarters of the city of Bogotá, where, due to its physical characteristics and needs, a rainwater collection and use network was generated as an alternative to the drinking water network, which tends to meet the needs of non-drinking uses (flushing toilets and maintenance of common areas), taking into account its main components: The network is intended to meet the needs of non-drinking water uses (flushing toilets and maintaining common areas), taking into account its main components: collection, treatment, storage and use. Based on the above, an analysis of the technical and economic feasibility of such use in the institution is presented, which will determine the approximate cost of the initial investment and the estimated time of return on that investment, all of which is framed in a basic budget for the construction and installation of the system, along with some recommendations for its replicability.
