Drenaje sostenible aplicado a la edificación del aulario de ciencias básicas en el Campus Balzay

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to carry out the design of a sustainable drainage system in the Basic Sciences Classroom at the Balzay Campus of the University of Cuenca, which allows efficient use of rainwater in a technical and innovative way. The design proposal is presented as an alternative for saving drinking water in use as flush toilets and urinals, where engineering concepts will be used to provide solutions to the different components of the system. The drainage will be made up of the rainwater collection, transport, storage and distribution system for its respective application. In addition, the sizing of all system components will be carried out in accordance with Ecuadorian standards and implemented design guidelines. In this project, different scenarios were taken into account that may occur when carrying out the design, such as; the precipitation analysis of the last 10 years, the analysis of the driest season and the analysis of half of the catchment area, taking the best option, so that the water supply guarantees the adequate functioning of the sanitary devices. Finally, the implementation of the project is technically feasible, but the results show that an investment of 44278.50 dollars is required, which is initially high, therefore, it can become a problem, if the investment for its implementation is not available. building. In addition, this project seeks to raise awareness to mitigate the impact caused by the inappropriate use of drinking water, through the rainwater collection alternative proposed in the project
