ojs-article-36792008-11-21T23:48:31Z Implementation of water conservation programs Implementação de programas de uso racional da água em campi universitários Silva, Gisele Sanches da Tamaki, Humberto Oyamada Gonçalves, Orestes Marraccini uso racional da água; gestão da demanda; sistemas prediais This research work proposes a methodology for implementing water conservation programs in university campi. The planning – motivation, aims, preliminary diagnosis of the situation and structure – of this kind of program must be carried out before the implementation of activities. Then, it is necessary to define priorities, to make the necessary contacts with university units and companies (pre-implementation) and to carry out the actual stages of implementation: making an in-depth diagnosis; physical loss reduction; reduction of consumption in water use points; characterization of habits and rationalization of activities that consume water; and program dissemination, including awareness campaigns and training. In the post-implementation stage, some of these activities must be kept, as well as the water demand management – besides the data survey that includes the determination of control parameters and the definition of intervention procedures on the systems whenever there are anomalies. The Water Conservation Program at the University of São Paulo is presented, both the implementation and results. This program achieved, from 1998 to 2003, 36% of water consumption reduction (from 137,881 to 88,366 m³/month) and resulted in an net economic benefit of US$ 16.13 millions (R$ 46.61 millions). Este trabalho propõe uma metodologia de implementação de programas de uso racional da água em campi universitários. O planejamento – motivação, objetivos, diagnóstico preliminar da situação e estruturação – de programas dessa natureza deve preceder às atividades de implantação. Seguem-se, então, a definição de prioridades, os contatos necessários com as unidades e empresas (pré-implantação) e a realização das etapas de implantação propriamente ditas: aprofundamento do diagnóstico; redução de perdas físicas; redução de consumo nos pontos de utilização; caracterização de hábitos e racionalização das atividades que consomem água; e divulgação, incluindo campanhas de conscientização e treinamentos. No pós-implantação, algumas dessas atividades devem ser mantidas, assim como a gestão da demanda de água – que inclui, além do levantamento de dados, a determinação de parâmetros de controle e a definição de procedimentos de intervenção sobre o sistema no caso de ocorrência de anomalias. Apresenta-se, neste trabalho, o Programa de Uso Racional da Água da Universidade de São Paulo (PURA-USP) – sua implementação e resultados. O PURA-USP obteve, de 1998 a 2003, uma redução no consumo de água de 36% (de 137.881 m³/mês para 88.366 m³/mês) e um benefício econômico líquido acumulado de R$ 46,61 milhões.
