Assessment of water-saving equipment to support the urban management of water

Abstract: The objective of this study was to analyze the environmental and economic impacts of the implementation of water-saving equipment in residences in the municipality of Caruaru-PE as a measure of water conservation and mitigation of the drought effects that have been devastating the region along the past five years. For this purpose, eight neighborhoods were selected and their populations were estimated along the years of 2015 and 2035. Subsequently, the water consumption per capita, water volumes consumed with … Show more

“…Otaki, Yurina et al analyzed the local applicability of water-saving devices by investigating the use of water-saving devices and the amount of water saved in 134 households in Hanoi, Vietnam [5]. da Silva [6] analyzed water conservation in the city of Karuru, Brazil, by projecting the population in 2015 and the population in 2035 to derive per capita water use, based on the calculated amount of water savings and the cost of water-saving devices, and the impact of water-saving device installation on economic development and the environment. Juniah, Restu analyzed the economic, social and ecological benefits of water resources in a city in Indonesia and quantified the economic, social and ecological benefits using electricity prices, sustainability and vegetation cover [7].…”

“…Em Joinville/SC, a utilização dos equipamentos economizadores de água, no prédio da Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina, gerou uma redução de 12,34% do consumo nas torneiras e 30,99% nas bacias sanitárias (ALEXANDRE; KALBUSCH e HENNING, 2017). Silva et al (2019) analisaram oito bairros na cidade de Caruaru/PE e estimaram uma redução de 40% do uso de água potável apenas com a adoção dos equipamentos economizadores de água.…”

“…O uso racional da água é fundamental na busca da sustentabilidade e podem ser aplicadas medidas estruturais e não estruturais para sua promoção (Silva et al, 2014). A adoção de tecnologias alternativas para promover a redução do consumo de água, como a substituição de equipamentos hidrossanitários convencionais por modelos economizadores de água é uma importante medida estrutural (Silva et al, 2014) e uma prática comum em programas de conservação da água (SILVA et al, 2017). De acordo com Alves, Rocha e Gonçalves (2006) a utilização de aparelhos economizadores de água no Brasil vem crescendo, principalmente em prédios de uso público, pois seu uso pode proporcionar redução nas contas de água e esgoto, além de energia elétrica.…”
