Abstract

The objective of this degree project is to propose an easy-to-install rainwater harvesting system for the family residence in the Reino de Quito neighborhood, DMQ, with a hydroponic system of nutrient film technique (NFT). In the theoretical framework, the benefit of the rainwater reuse system for plant irrigation is exposed, on the other hand, the procedures are detailed in methodology according to the specific objectives, which included the collection of pluviometric information from the station near the sector, to know the levels of precipitation. With this, the sizes of the first water interceptor tanks, storage tanks, and other elements required for the system were determined through the design guide provided by CEPIS. From the analysis of results and discussions for the proposal, this rainwater harvesting alternative can be used to supply the demand for water required by the harvesting system, it also contributes to the proper use of water resources, and in turn reduces the consumption of Drinking water for the irrigation of plants inside the house and maintenance of the systems, which generates benefits both at an environmental and economic level. Finally, the installation, operation, and maintenance guide of the NFT hydroponic system is included as annexes, as well as plans for the design of the rainwater harvesting system with tables of proposals whose costs may vary according to the user's comfort.
