Dimensionamento de um sistema hidráulico predial para reúso de águas cinzas em uma edificação residencial

Abstract

The increase in water demand attributed by population growth and pollution of water sources as consequence of the flush of wastewater has been affecting water resources in quantitative and qualitative terms. The problems caused by the lack of potable water became a delay in progress, limiting economic activities and lower quality of life. An alternative to these water problems is the reuse of water in the building. The reuse can be given by the gray waters that are served waters from points of the building such as: showers, lavatory of bathrooms, washing machines, excluding water from kitchen and toilets due to the need for a higher level of treatment. With a correct treatment these waters instead of being dumped in the domestic sewer can obtain other functions like use in discharges of toilets, car wash, watering of gardens, use in urinals and washing of sidewalks reducing the water fçush in rivers. The purpose of this work is the study of the design and design of a water reuse water storage and distribution system for a building located in the city of Uberlândia-MG. With the implementation of the system of utilization of water served there is a possibility of an approximate saving of 21% of potable water.
