Abstract

Abstract:Currently, around the world there are 3.6 billion people living in areas at risk of overbearing water scarcity at least once a year (UNESCO, 2018). In Ecuador, 94% of the urban population has access to drinking water and rural population only 57.50% (INEC, 2018). Therefore, it is proposed to develop a system for the use of rainwater and implement it in a single-family home, designed to meet needs that supplement drinking water, that is, flushing toilets, cleaning the home, irrigation and vehicle wash. It is solved with the use of a basin-type cover for the capture of the rainwater, each component is pre-dimensioned from the materiality of the roof, channel section, collection pipes, first water tank and storage tank. storage, based on site precipitation calculations with station data meteorological reports prepared by the hydrology and climatology group of the UTPL; also supply and demand for water use.
