Evaluation of the saving of drinking water that could be perceived in the nurseries when implementing a rainwater harvesting system in Panama City

Water scarcity is a growing problem, which we cannot ignore, because it negatively affects the social development of the population worldwide.

description Water scarcity is a growing problem, which we cannot ignore, because it negatively affects the social development of the population worldwide. One of the alternatives to face the lack of water is the efficient use of rainwater. The main objective of this research was to study the feasibility of using a rainwater harvesting system and how it could save on a large scale the amount of drinking water consumed in dry season nurseries in Panama City. By applying a data collection instrument to the managers of the nurseries studied (Jardines Del Bonsái SA and Arboretum Genera Palmarum LTD SA), the measurements corresponding to theconsumption of drinking water in the months of January, February and March were obtained, with the purpose of comparing them with the average level of rainfall in Panama for those same months. Using the data provided by the Empresa de Transmisión Eléctrica S.A. (ETESA), it was observed that the first three months of the year are the months with the least amount of rainfall, therefore, the demand for drinking water for plant irrigation increases. A system was proposed that consists of the installation of channels on the roofs of the nursery to collect rainwater in the last months of the year, which are the rainiest. With the implementation of this system, more than 2.98% could be saved from the use of drinking water in nurseries during the summer.

Una de las alternativas para enfrentar la falta de agua es la utilización eficiente del agua de lluvia. El objetivo principal de esta investigación fue estudiar la factibilidad del uso de un sistema de captación de agua de lluvia y cómo podría ahorrar en gran escala la cantidad de agua potable que se consume en los viveros en temporada seca en la ciudad de Panamá. Mediante la aplicación de un instrumento de recolección de datos a los encargados de los viveros estudiados (Jardines Del Bonsái S.A. y Arboretum Genera Palmarum LTD S.A.) se obtuvieron las mediciones correspondientes al consumo de agua potable en los meses de enero, febrero y marzo, con la finalidad de compararlos con el nivel de precipitaciones promedio de Panamá para esos mismos meses. Mediante los datos proporcionados por la Empresa de Transmisión Eléctrica S.A. (ETESA) se observó que los tres primeros meses del año, son los meses con menos cantidad de precipitaciones, por ende, la demanda del aguapotable para el riego de plantas aumenta. Se propuso un sistema que consiste en la instalación de canales en los tejados del vivero para la recolección de agua lluvia en los últimos meses del año que son los más lluviosos. Con la implementación de este sistema se podría ahorrar más de un 2.98% del uso de agua potable en viveros durante el verano.Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá2020-06-302021-04-21T15:47:58Z2021-04-21T15:47:58Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.utp.ac.pa/index.php/ric/article/view/261410.33412/rev-ric.v6.1.2614https://ridda2.utp.ac.pa/handle/123456789/121762413-67862412-0464Revista de Iniciación Científica; Vol. 6 Núm. 1 (2020): Revista de Iniciación Científica; 59-64reponame:Repositorio Institucional de documento digitales de acceso abierto de la UTPinstname:Universidad Tecnológica de Panamáinstacron:U Tecnológica de Panamáspahttps://revistas.utp.ac.pa/index.php/ric/article/view/2614/3358info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/oai:ridda2.utp.ac.pa:123456789/121762021-05-17T21:19:48Z
