Determinación de los posibles usos del aprovechamiento de aguas lluvias a partir de su cantidad y calidad en los campus de la Universidad Santo Tomás sede Villavicencio.

Abstract

This investigation evaluated and determined the possible uses of the use of rainwater from its quantity and quality, on the Loma Linda and Aguas Claras campus of the Santo Tomás Villavicencio University. To this end, the potential for rainwater use is determined first by means of IDF curves by identifying the flow rate. Then, the physicochemical and microbiological analysis of the collected rainwater was carried out, which consisted of identifying the quality of this, to later contrast with the environmental regulations and determine the possible uses of rainwater on the campus of the Santo Tomás University Villavicencio headquarters . As a result, the hypothesis was answered “It is feasible to assume that the quality conditions of rainwater are determined, and the flow available in the area of the University's campuses, sufficient sea to serve as a water supply for use domestic (washing of hard areas, facades and irrigation of green areas”, since a flow rate of 12.11 L / s and 37.31 L / s was obtained for the Loma Linda and Aguas Claras respectively; and the requirements were met maximum permissible limits of water quality, its use and use in bathrooms, garden irrigation and façade washing on the campus of the Santo Tomás University, Villavicencio.
