Description
Résumé:he university campus presents water problems: ooding during the rainy season, shortages and water cuts. This work evaluated the possibility of restoring the urban hydrological cycle throughlid technologies in an area with low precipitation. The following hydrological variables were established for the design: annual rainfall for an arid year (181.1 mm), the average rainfall of 15.09 mm, the maximum of 53 mm and the minimum of 0 mm. The volume of rainwater harvestable on roofs was calculated; runo coe cient (concrete, C = 0.9); average daily consumption in toilets. The storage system was dimensioned and the number of days in which the demand is satis ed as non-potable water. The volume of average ru- no (Vm) in parking lots and roadways with as- phalt surfaces (C = 0.8) and concrete walkways (C= 0.9) was calculated and compared with the Vm if they were replaced with permeable pavement (C = 0.7). Also, in ltration capacity in green areas was determined.
