Proposal and assessment of rainwater harvesting scenarios on the Javeriana University campus, Bogota

摘要: Globally, rainwater harvesting is becoming more important as a concept that can support urban sustainable development. The objective of this work was to assess the infrastructural requirements use at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana campus in Bogota, through an inventory water uses, rainfall measurements study area and quality assessment coupled pipe hydraulics modeling. proposed system allows supplying 14 % total non-potable water, which represents savings 24.174.754 Colombian Pesos (COP) (12.723 USD). Due high initial investment 694.967.383 COP (365.772 USD), return assessed than 30 years therefore has low financial viability.
