Diseño de la instalación de un módulo filtrante de aguas lluvias utilizando guadua, gravas, arenas y carbón activo en viviendas rurales de Cunday Tolima

Abstract

The scarcity of water in the world has led to find alternatives for the collection and conservation of this resource, so the use of rainwater allows greater access to water. In Cunday Tolima there is a problem regarding the availability of water during the dry season, therefore, the Government must supply these areas of water, still being insufficient for the needs of the entire population, in addition to this, it is found that this community does not store or carry out rainwater treatment, which maximizes the problems that trigger the scarcity of this natural resource. Due to the above, the author asks: How can a rainwater treatment system in rural areas be designed and implemented from local materials that allows its use for housing? and in this study it is proposed to design a filter built with guadua, gravels, sand, and activated coal for the use of rainwater in rural homes located in the rural area of Cunday, Tolima.
