Estudo de oportunidades de reúso de águas residuárias em campi universitários - estudo de caso da Universidade Federal de São Carlos
Abstract
Water, one of the most important natural resources necessary to the man’s life, is in the planet
distributed irregularly and committed by its bad use. Several sections look for solutions for
the subjects of the shortage of the resources, But the population don t notice its importance
inside of the chain consumption and generation of residues, it still intensifies more the
problem. For its appropriate administration, seeking the sustainability and the development,
conferences on environment brought the surface many ways to reached those objects,
explaining concepts of consumption reduction, reuse and recycling. This work aims to
integrate those concepts inside of the systems of water supply how principal objective the
reuse of the water resources, The wastewaters are a alternative source for the supplying in
human activities. The Universidade Federal de São Carlos was chosen, for having uses of
many natures and production of the more differentiated types of waters reuse. Through
listings, characterizing the uses of the water, they were lifted up the generating activities of
the possible water for the reuse and the consuming activities to the campus already existent in
São Carlos, identifying the possible opportunities of reuse or recycle the wastewaters inside of
the university. Seen the great potentiality of applying wastewaters in some activities in
universities, the new project of the campus of Sorocaba, segregated systems of sewer and It
was proposed a reservoir of water supply with double camera for drinking water and reuse
water, in same structure and supplying the whole university, improving a economy of the
water and electric power resource.
