Abstract
This work aims to evaluate the reduction in water consumption at the IGM/FIOCRUZ-BA facilities, evaluating the potential for rainwater harvesting. To this end, the areas of roofs with the potential for reuse of rainwater were surveyed, their capture capacities considering rainfall data, in addition to a survey of the institution’s water consumption. We observed significant results in percentages of reduction in water consumption in the case of rainwater reuse and the potential savings generated when compared with the data effectively spent on the water in the IGM. It can be seen that the capture capacities of the roofs and the pluviometric indices of Salvador can provide potential savings to the Instituto Gonçalo Moniz (IGM).
