Avaliação das bocas de lobo de uma rede de microdrenagem urbana: estudo de caso da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, Campus Santa Mônica

Abstract

The Santa Mônica Campus of the Federal University of Uberlândia suffers major problems on rainy days due to its water drainage system. Some of the University's streets, especially those with a greater concentration of pedestrians, face a range of adversities in relation to this issue, especially with water overflow from the drainage system. This fact presents as one of its causes the lack of storm drains within the Campus, which often do not accommodate the volume of rainwater received in the region. Therefore, this project has the purpose of evaluating the operational and conservation conditions of the storm drains present throughout the Campus, taking into account an evaluation matrix, based on the following pre-established requirements: discharge orifice, filtration grids, slope of bottom, stonework, accumulation of sediment, distance between devices, interference of vehicles in gutters, as well as the spatial arrangement of each element, in addition to the description of their geographic coordinates. With a meteorological analysis of the region where the Santa Mônica Campus is located, with the aim of assessing the incidence of rain this year, so that the data obtained can be compared with data from previous years in which microdrainage projects were carried out in each one of the streets under study. Based on this, a hypothesis can be proposed for the occurrence of the phenomenon of street overflow faced by the University, as well as indicating potential solutions to the problems discussed.
