Design of rainwater collection systems, a commitment to conservation

Abstract

Introduction. The rainwater collection systems are an alternative to face the shortage of the resource in rural areas or with poor access to the same Objective. Design rainwater collection systems for municipalities of Cundinamarca evaluating their functionality and hydraulic capacity Materials and methods. The research is of a quantitative type focused on defining climatological variables, flow rates and system performance. Results. In the year 2018, 2 undergraduate projects of 4 students of the civil engineering program belonging to the investigation Group were presented Conclusion. The prefabricated systems that are commercialized at the national level have the capacity to manage the flow captured in the analyzed sites. Discussion. Within the exercise, the proposal for the design of water catchment systems using recycled material, a process under development in the seedbed, and a project focused on the improvement of water quality, is highlighted
