Dricksvatten är vårt viktigaste livsmedel. I takt med klimatförändringarna kommer temperaturen öka och vädret bli mer extremt vilket gör vår tillgång till dricksvatten mer sårbar. Redan idag finns problem med dricksvattenförsörjningen i vissa delar av Sverige. Ett sätt att minska dricksvattenförbrukningen är att samla in regnvatten och använda det till processer med lägre kvalitetskrav än dricksvatten. Swedavia jobbar aktivt med att få mer miljövänliga flygplatser och som en del av detta minska dricksvattenförbrukningen. Detta projekt utreder möjligheten att samla upp regnvatten på takytor för att använda till processer som idag använder dricksvatten. Projektet är koncernövergripande och applicerbart på samtliga av Swedavias flygplatser även om arbetet utförs på Stockholm Arlanda Airport. I detta examensarbete har kvaliteten på vattnet från fem olika typer av tak studerats. Taken valdes bland annat utifrån tidigare utförda studier där föroreningsgraden på vattnet från olika sorters tak undersökts. Även faktorer som förekomst på flygplatserna spelade in. Provtagning utfördes vid två tillfällen där avrunnet regnvatten samlades in från de fem olika taken samt ett referensprov på rent regnvatten. Fem näringsämnen, löst organiskt material, suspenderat material och sex olika tungmetaller analyserades. Tre av taken gav så pass höga värden att de överskred satta gränsvärden. Det gröna taket gav höga halter fosfor och löst organiskt material. Taket med TRP-stål gav höga zinkhalter vilket tros bero på den zinkbeläggning som taket har. Taket med PVC-plastduk gav också höga zinkhalter vid en av provtagningarna, men inte lika höga som på TRP-ståltaket. Taken med FPO-plast, som är en mer miljövänlig plastduk, och taket med takpapp gav låga värden och överskred inte några satta gränsvärden. Referensprovet på regnvatten gav hög halt suspenderat material vid en av provtagningarna samt höga blyhalter som överskred gränsvärdena. Slutsatserna av detta projekt är att gröna tak, tak med TRP-stål och tak med PVC-plastduk riskerar att överskrida gränsvärden vilket gör att de lämpar sig sämre för uppsamling av regnvatten än de resterande taken. Resultatet baseras på de två provtagningar som utfördes vilket gör att fler provtagningar bör utföras för att kunna dra den definitiva slutsatsen att dessa tre typer av tak inte lämpar sig för detta ändamål. Taken med FPO-plast och takpapp överskrider inga gränsvärden och kan, utifrån de analyserade parametrarna, lämpa sig för uppsamling av regnvatten. Det är dock viktigt att poängtera att för att kunna återanvända vattnet och garantera att det håller en tillräckligt bra kvalitet behöver fler parametrar analyseras, något som inte kunde genomföras i detta projekt. / Drinking water is vital for our daily life. With climate change comes increasing temperatures and more extreme weather which can jeopardize our access to drinking water. One way to reduce our drinking water consumption is to collect rainwater and use it for processes which have lower quality demands than drinking water. Swedavia is constantly working on making their airports more environmentally friendly and as a part of this reducing the drinking water consumption. This project examines how water can be collected at Swedavia’s airports. The project results should be of intent to all of Swedavia’s airports even if the project is performed at Stockholm Arlanda Airport. In this project the water quality from five different types roofs has been studied. The different kind of roofs were chosen based on previous studies where pollutants in roof-harvested rainwater were studied. Other aspects such as location on the airports were also considered. Samplings were collected at two different occasions where water was collected from the different roofs. One sample of clean rainwater was collected as a reference. Five nutrients, dissolved organic matter, suspended matter and six heavy metals were analyzed. Three of the roofs gave water with high values that exceeded the quality limits. The samples from the green roof showed high levels of phosphorus and dissolved organic matter. The steel roof gave high levels of zink which may origin from its zink coating. The roof with PVC plastic also gave high levels of zink, but not as high as the steel roof. The roof with FPO plastic, a more environmentally friendly plastic, and the roof with roof paper gave low values and did not exceed any quality limits. The reference sample of clean rainwater gave high values of suspended matter at the second occasion and high values of lead that exceeded the quality limits. The conclusions of this project are that roof-harvested rainwater from green roofs, steel roofs and roofs with PVC plastic may exceed quality limits which makes them less suitable for collecting and re-use. The results are based on the two sampling occasions which means that sampling at more occations needs to be done to make definitive conclusions. The roofs with FPO plastic and roof paper do not exceed any quality limits and can therefore, according to the analyzed parameters, be suitable for collecting rainwater. It is important to note that to be able to reuse the water and guarantee that the quality of the water does not exceed any quality limits more parameters should be analyzed.

Rainwater harvesting (RWH) in the UK has seen a low level of uptake relative to similar settings such as Australia and Germany. The relatively low cost of municipal water in the UK limits the financial savings associated with RWH systems, especially in a domestic setting. Although financial benefits can be relatively low (in terms of reduced water bills), academic and practitioner studies have demonstrated the potential for RWH to significantly reduce potable water demands at typical UK houses. Hence, increased uptake of RWH has potential to contribute to mitigating droughts in water scarce regions. Stormwater management in the UK is receiving increasing attention at all levels; from grass-roots sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) such as downpipe disconnections and raingardens; through to implementation of urban realm attenuation schemes and continued development of guidance from UK policy makers. The public realm nature of most SuDS presents a need for partnership approaches to be fostered between infrastructure mangers and the general public. The application of RWH as a technology within the SuDS management train has been limited in the UK as policy makers have taken the view that RWH tanks may be full at the start of a design storm, and thus the potential for attenuation and peak discharge reduction has been largely ignored. However, in the last few years there has been a shift in emphasis; from RWH perceived purely as a water demand management technology to a focus on its wider benefits e.g. mitigating surface water flooding through improved stormwater management. RWH systems examined in this thesis are now available which offer multiple benefits to both end-users and water service providers. The application of RWH in a dual purpose configuration (to displace potable water demands and control stormwater discharges) has seen increasing interest during the development of this thesis. However, the successful design of RWH as a stormwater management tool requires a series of calculations to be completed. To date, practitioners have frequently relied upon low-resolution heuristic methods which lead to a small range of configurations being deployed, with minimal demonstrable stormwater control benefits. In this thesis, full details of novel and traditional RWH technologies were identified and described. Empirical data was collected, both in laboratory conditions and at field sites, to identify the real world operating characteristics of a range of RWH configurations. Additionally a new time series evaluation methodology was developed to enable RWH systems to be designed and analysed. This method quantifies water demand benefits and also focusses on stormwater management metrics (i.e. largest annual discharge and total discharge volume per year). The method was developed to enable a range of RWH configurations to be evaluated at a given site. In addition, a decision support tool (RainWET) was developed and tested which enabled the methods to be deployed in real world settings. The application of the RainWET software allowed a UK-wide, time series analysis of RWH configurations to be completed and the holistic benefits of a range of dual purpose RWH systems to be analysed and described. Evidence from the UK study suggests that a traditional RWH installation (3000l storage, 300l/day demand and 60m2 roof) installed at a house in a water scarce region (London, SAAR 597mm) was able to fully mitigate stormwater overflows over a 20 year analysis whilst providing a mean water saving of 31,255l/annum. An equivalent system located in the wettest region studied (Truro, SAAR 1099mm) saw mean reductions in the largest annual storm of 62% (range 35-86%) whilst satisfying a mean rainwater demand of 50,912l/annum. The study concluded that suitably designed dual purpose RWH systems offered better stormwater management benefits than those designed without a stormwater control device. In addition, the integration of smart RWH controls were shown to maximise stormwater control benefits with little or no reduction in a system’s ability to satisfy non-potable water demands.

Soil degradation and low crop productivity negatively affect the food security of smallholder farmers in West Africa. Various agricultural techniques have been developed as components of food security interventions, but their effectiveness in addressing food insecurity in part depends upon farmers’ willingness to adopt these techniques. Likewise, adoption depends upon the effectiveness of these techniques in fulfilling farmers’ objectives. The institutional and biophysical environments mediate not only the effectiveness of the techniques, but also how farmers value a technique. This study examined the evidence for fertilizer microdosing as a form of agricultural intensification and the socio-economic conditions that influence its adoption among smallholder farmers. A census was conducted in one village in northwest Benin that had recently seen the introduction of fertilizer microdosing. Key household-level determinants of adoption identified in the literature—household resources, household demographics, and access to inputs— were included in the household surveys. Using partial budgeting analysis and yield data from demonstration plots, the relative profitability of fertilizer microdosing was calculated as a necessary condition of adoption. Drawing from farmers’ stories, the potential value of microdosing was contextualized within the larger social and institutional context. Based upon the village census, there was little adoption outside of the research project that introduced microdosing to the village. Households using microdosing (predominantly found within the research project) had, on average, higher socio-economic status, more cultivable land and larger labour forces. Profitability analysis indicated that microdosing was on average less profitable than the point-source application of the recommended dosage rate in Benin (the common alternative). However, farmers still expressed a desire to microdose, due to poorly functioning input markets, poor infrastructure, and lack of access to financial instruments, all of which limited the availability, access and utilization of inorganic fertilizer.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / A captação de águas pluviais não constitui nova estratégia ou tecnologia. No entanto, recentemente tem sido proposta em regiões bem desenvolvidas ou em desenvolvimento (peri-urbanas) em resposta a grandes períodos de estiagens, aumento da demanda por água, maior conscientização pública das enchentes urbanas e sua gênese e, aumento do interesse em práticas de construções sustentáveis, que integram também o uso racional da água. As escolas constituem uma importante fundação da nação, e tem influência no desenvolvimento da sociedade e da sensibilização/ conscientização sobre as questões ambientais. Muitos dos usos da água nas escolas envolvem usos menos nobres da água. Neste contexto, nessa dissertação de mestrado além da análise de marcos legais nesse assunto, foi realizada pesquisa de opinião (entrevista e questionário) junto a atores que interferem no processo decisório da utilização das águas pluviais nas escolas para fins não potáveis. Foram observadas as condições físicas-construtivas das escolas do município do Rio de Janeiro, sobretudo na região da 7a. CRE, que abrange a região da Baixada de Jacarepaguá, área de expansão da cidade. Foi implementada uma unidade para coleta e caracterização da qualidade das águas pluviais, além da caracterização e estudo dos volumes de primeiro descarte (first flush). Os parâmetros de qualidade da água pH, T, OD, ORP, Tu, STD, Condutividade e Salinidade, foram observados com auxílio de sonda multiparâmetros e, através de análise laboratorial de acordo com o Standard Methods, os coliformes termotolerantes. No estudo de percepção foi verificada uma grande aceitação do aproveitamento de águas pluviais para fins não potáveis, embora diretores de escola tenham apresentado informações/percepção divergentes sobre consumo e contas de água das escolas, de sua coordenadoria. Na análise dos parâmetros de qualidade da água versus registros pluviométricos foi observada variabilidade nos eventos pluviométricos observados que limitaram a correlação entre os mesmos, e acabou limitando as conclusões dos estudos de volumes para primeira lavagem e descarte (first flush). Os resultados da pesquisa permitem recomendar a implementação de políticas públicas para aproveitamento de águas pluviais para fins não potáveis nas escolas, mas, com o devido apoio tecnológico. Recomenda-se o aperfeiçoamento e automatização do sistema de coleta de águas pluviais para os estudos de first-flush e otimização dos volumes de descarte. / Rainwater harvesting does not constitute a new strategy or technology. However, recently it has been proposed in well-developed regions or in development (peri-urban) in response to long periods of dryness, increased demand for water, greater public awareness of urban flooding and its genesis, and increased interest in sustainable construction practices, incorporating also the rational use of water. Schools are an important foundation of the nation and has influence in the development of society and awareness about environmental issues. Many of the uses of water in schools involve less noble uses of water. In this context, this dissertation in addition to the analysis of legal frameworks in this matter was held survey (interview and questionnaire) with actors who interfere in the decision-making process of the use of rainwater for non potable purposes in schools. Schools physical- constructive conditions were observed of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, especially in the region of the 7th CRE, which covers the region of Baixada de Jacarepaguá, area in expansion of the city. It was implemented a unit for collection and characterization of rainwater quality, plus the characterisation and study of volumes of first flush. The water quality parameters pH, T, DO, ORP, Tu, TDS, Conductivity and Salinity, were observed with the aid of multi-parameter probe and, through laboratory testing in accordance with the Standard Methods, the fecal coliforms. In the study of perception was verified a wide acceptance of the use of rainwater for drinking purposes, although school directors have submitted divergent perception/information about consumption and water bills of the schools in its coordination. In the analysis of water quality parameters versus rainfall records was observed a certain variability in the rainfall events observed that limited the correlation between them, and ended up limiting the conclusions of the studies of volumes for the first washing and disposal (first flush). The search results allowed to recommend the implementation of public policies for rainwater utilization for potable purposes in schools, but with a technological support. It is recommended the improvement and automation of the rainwater collection system for studies of first-flush and optimization of disposition volumes.

A full-scale direct filtration unit was operated and a solution of natural corn starch was used as the primary coagulant. The color, turbidity e coliform efficiencies of the unit was analyzed based on filtration loads and the net water production was estimated. The results indicated that the system was able to reduce the discharge of the first rain batch, although it was not fully adequate in terms of removal efficiency, suggesting that more studies are needed. The reduction of volume was equivalent to 1.7 mm in absolute terms (or 85%). The apparent color and turbidity removal was around 30 and 54% average, respectively. Additionally, the rainwater production cost for harvesting was R$ 0,99/m3 (or 90%) cheaper than the drinking water public source. / O presente trabalho objetivou investigar o desempenho de um sistema experimental de tratamento de água pluvial visando uso não potável, prescindindo o descarte da primeira chuva na expectativa de controlar a qualidade da água pluvial captada e minimizar o volume descartado. Para tal, utilizou-se uma estação de captação e tratamento de águas pluviais após passagem por telhado construída em escala real. Foram realizados ensaios de filtração direta com emprego de filtro de pressão e aplicação de solução de amido natural de milho como coagulante primário. Para avaliação do desempenho do sistema, foram analisadas a eficiência na remoção de impurezas ao longo das carreiras de filtração e a produção efetiva do sistema. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que com o emprego do sistema foi possível reduzir o descarte da primeira chuva, embora não tenha adequado plenamente as precipitações estudadas ao padrão de qualidade preconizado pela NBR 15527/07, sugerindo a necessidade da continuidade dos trabalhos. O tratamento investigado possibilitou redução no valor de descarte da primeira chuva equivalente a 1,7 L (ou 85%) por metro quadrado de área de captação. Em termos de residuais de cor aparente e turbidez, as reduções médias obtidas foram de 30 e 54%, respectivamente. Adicionalmente, comparando-se o custo de operação do sistema de tratamento empregado com a tarifa de água tratada cobrada pela concessionária local, obteve-se uma economia equivalente a, aproximadamente, R$ 0,99/m3 (ou 90%). Por fim, foram discutidas alternativas para melhoria do sistema experimental investigado.

Was verified that rainwater utilization systems vary widely in type and would be important to be able to correlate the precipitated water, uses and models for each situation. And for this work was used the risk analysis focusing the preliminary hazard analysis. A bibliographic review carried out presented some guides and legislation that could complete quality control parameters for non-potable rainwater utilization, and determine the time to review these parameters to control the operation of the system. The study's preliminary analysis was used to study the greatest dangers in the use of rain-related water quality system, critical control points, the user risks, control measures and mitigation measures. For the case study was addressed the same preliminary hazard analysis for knowledge about the contamination of rainwater in relation to the control parameters and on their own knowledge of project development for rainwater utilization. Through the two analyzes a proposal of guidelines was performed for implantation of rainwater utilization system for the case study and there is a possibility of a real fitness for safe use. / O presente trabalho de mestrado contém uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a conservação da água, o aproveitamento pluvial, qualidade e tratamento da água, legislações e análise de risco. Foi constatado que os sistemas de aproveitamento pluvial variam bastante de tipologia e seria importante poder correlacionar a água precipitada com os usos e os modelos para cada situação. Assim, para o presente trabalho foi utilizada a análise de risco com enfoque na análise preliminar de perigos. Com os estudos dos trabalhos apresentados e todos os guias e legislações, foi possível concluir parâmetros de controle da qualidade para o aproveitamento pluvial não potável, e determinar um tempo para análise desses parâmetros para controle do funcionamento do sistema. O estudo da análise preliminar foi utilizado para estudar os maiores perigos dentro do sistema de aproveitamento pluvial relacionado à qualidade de água, os pontos críticos de controle, riscos ao usuário, as medidas de controle e as medidas mitigadoras. Para o estudo de caso, foi abordada a mesma análise preliminar de perigos para o conhecimento sobre a contaminação da água da chuva em relação aos parâmetros de controle e sobre o próprio conhecimento do desenvolvimento do projeto para o aproveitamento pluvial. Por meio das duas análises, foi realizada uma proposta de diretrizes para a implantação do sistema de aproveitamento pluvial para o estudo de caso e existe a possibilidade de uma adequação real para o uso seguro.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Rainwater harvesting (RWH) for non-potable use in buildings are a widespread practice around the world. The reservation is the item with the greatest variability in the RWH system design. The reservoir volume must be optimized in a way that it is not too large and costly, and not too small and insufficient to meet the demands. In this context, the objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of the project variables (faults in the rainfall series, catchment-demand conditions, initial reserve situation, discharge volumes, different demand series, changes in precipitation series) in the volume and performance of RWH tanks. For this, different catchment areas (100, 200 and 300 m²) were considered, located in five cities of Brazil - Porto Alegre, RS; Sao Paulo-SP; Goiânia, GO; João Pessoa, PB and Manaus, AM, thus contemplating different pluviometry regimes. For this purpose, the volume balance methodology was used, evaluating results for different commercial tanks volumes (1,000 L, 1,500 L, 2,000 L, 3,000 L and 5,000 L). Regarding the initial simulation criteria (catchment-demand conditions, initial reservation situation, discard volumes), the first discard runoff generated the most representative changes in the failure to meet the demand (8%). In relation to the different demand series, an increase of 40% in demand volume caused a 2.5-fold increase in the storage volume in regions with low rainfall seasonal variability and up to 5 times the size of the reservoir in the regions with well-defined seasonality. With regard to the different rearrangements of the series of precipitations, the inter-annual and intra-annual variations did not cause major changes in the failure of demand supply. Thus, based on the results found, it is recommended to consider the influence of the extension and the temporal discretization of the precipitations series in the rainwater reservoir design. / O aproveitamento da água da chuva (AAC) para consumo não potável nas edificações é uma prática muito difundida em todo o mundo. A reservação é um dos itens de maior variabilidade no dimensionamento do sistema de AAC. O volume do reservatório deve ser otimizado, de forma a não ser excessivamente grande e oneroso, e tampouco pequeno e insuficiente no cumprimento ao atendimento às demandas. Neste contexto, este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a influência das variáveis de projeto (falhas na série de precipitações, condições captação-demanda, situação inicial de reservação, volumes de descarte, diferentes séries de demandas e diferentes alterações nas séries de precipitações) no volume e desempenho de reservatórios de aproveitamento de água da chuva (RAAC). Para isso, foram consideradas diferentes áreas de captação (100, 200 e 300 m²), localizado em cinco cidades do Brasil - Porto Alegre, RS; São Paulo, SP; Goiânia, GO; João Pessoa, PB e Manaus, AM, contemplando assim, diferentes regimes pluviométricos. A metodologia empregada para esse fim foi o método da simulação de balanço hídrico em reservatórios, com a avaliação dos resultados para diferentes volumes comerciais (1.000 L, 1.500 L, 2.000 L, 3.000 L e 5.000 L). Quanto aos critérios iniciais de simulação (condições captação-demanda, situação inicial de reservação, volumes de descarte), o descarte do primeiro escoamento gerou as alterações mais representativas nas falhas ao atendimento à demanda. Quanto às diferentes séries de demandas, aumentos de 40% do volume demandado, provocaram um acréscimo de 2,5 vezes no volume de armazenamento em regiões com baixa variabilidade sazonal do regime de chuvas e, em até 5 vezes o tamanho do reservatório, nas regiões com sazonalidades bem definidas. Quanto aos diferentes rearranjos da série de precipitações, as variações interanuais e intra-anuais não ocasionaram grandes alterações nas falhas no atendimento à demanda. Assim, com base nos resultados encontrados, recomenda-se uma maior atenção à influência da extensão e a discretização temporal da série de precipitações durante o dimensionamento de reservatórios para o aproveitamento de água da chuva.

Among many consequences of this growth, high soil waterproofing features highlight due to the consequences it brings, as the occurrence of floods, floods and spread of waterborne diseases. Much of the runoff of rainwater comes from the paved soil, and is possible observe that about 20% of the urban area of a city is paved with the function of serving as circulation area of pedestrians or vehicles, according to the Federal Law No. 6766 of 19 December 1979 which provides for the division of urban soil and other measures (BRAZIL, 1979). In this context the objective of this research is the study of the effects of the spaces of Circulation and Permanence Pedestrians (ECPP) on the management of rainwater, with the empirical object one experimental watershed located on the campus of UFSCar in São Carlos / SP, and two areas urbanized in the city of Sao Jose do Rio Preto / SP. For this, it was made the identification of different types of floors, characterization and hydrological efficiency, research in academic papers and catalogs of suppliers, and analyze the areas and conditions of ECPPs within the perimeters of study under the hydrologic context, design, implementation, and maintenance costs. The findings evaluate the effects of ECPPs on the management of rainwater, and compare the results between the three ECPPs. These results show that the ECPP located in USFCar contributes 6% to runoff, while the ECPP Pedestrian street 35% and ECPP Neighborhood 9% to project parties were adopted that destined runoff for grassed areas or permeable floors these scenarios would be 2% contribution to ECPP UFSCar, 0.2% of flow for ECPP Pedestrian Street and 2% for ECPP Neighborhood. So is possible reduce runoff using hydrologically functional floors, implementing and using the green areas as a design element, providing knowledge of data and materials that can contribute to new ways to plan and execute the ECPPs. / As cidades têm crescido de maneira significativa e de maneira desordenada, sem o mínimo planejamento urbano, o que tem provocado problemas urbanos e ambientais. Entre inúmeras consequências deste crescimento, a alta impermeabilização do solo apresenta grande destaque devido às consequências que acarreta, como a ocorrência de enchentes, inundações e proliferação de doenças de veiculação hídrica. Grande parte do escoamento superficial das águas de chuva provém do solo pavimentado, e é possível observar que cerca de 20% da área urbana de uma cidade está pavimentada com a função de servir como área de circulação de pedestres ou de veículos, segundo a Lei Federal nº 6766 de 19 de dezembro de 1979 que dispõe sobre o parcelamento do solo urbano e dá outras providências (BRASIL, 1979). Neste contexto o objetivo desta pesquisa é o estudo dos efeitos dos ECPP-Espaços de Circulação e Permanência de Pedestres sobre o manejo das águas de chuva, tendo como objeto empírico uma Bacia Experimental localizada no Campus da UFSCar em São Carlos/SP, e duas áreas urbanizadas na cidade de São José do Rio Preto/SP. Para tanto foi feita a identificação dos diferentes tipos de pavimentos, sua caracterização e eficiência hidrológica, em pesquisa a trabalhos acadêmicos e catálogos de fornecedores, além de análises das áreas e condições dos ECPPs dentro dos perímetros de estudo sob o contexto hidrológico, de projeto, execução, manutenção e de custos. Os dados encontrados avaliam os efeitos dos ECPPs sobre o manejo das águas pluviais, e comparam os resultados encontrados entre os três ECPPs. Estes resultados mostram, que o ECPP localizado na USFCar contribui 6% com o escoamento superficial, enquanto que o ECPP Calçadão 35% e o ECPP Bairro 9%, se fossem adotados partidos de projetos que destinassem o escoamento superficial para áreas gramadas ou para pisos permeáveis, estes cenários seriam de 2% de contribuição para o ECPP UFSCar, 0,2% de escoamento para o ECPP Calçadão e 2% para o ECPP Bairro. Portanto é possível reduzir o escoamento superficial utilizando pavimentos hidrologicamente funcionais, implementando e utilizando as áreas verdes como elemento de projeto, proporcionando o conhecimento de dados e materiais que podem contribuir com novas formas de planejar e executar os ECPPs.
