Captación de agua pluvial en un plantel educativo de nivel medio superior del valle de Toluca, México
The objective of this project was to design a rainwater collection and treatment system at the Center for Industrial and Service Technological Studies No. 23 “Cetis23” as a corrective measure to prevent the flooding of gardens in the rainy season and increase the endowment of water to the population of the campus. The design began through a field study of the surfaces of the buildings to determine which are the ones with greater area and better surface, in this case were the buildings with gable roofs. Using the Sweet Home 3D software, the system was simulated in each building and a cost study was carried out, budgeting materials and labor. The pre-storage system for rainwater storage was proposed, consisting mainly of a sand and gravel filter. Finally, a ferrocement storage tank was designed. This system is an uncomplicated, economical and ecological technological option to provide water, in quantity and quality, to the population of CETis 23 (1354 people with an expense of 10 L per person per day).
