Captação de condensação do orvalho como alternativa hídrica considerando o ciclo hidrológico

Abstract

In this work, the ability to provide water through a dew collector, Atrapaniebla model, was discussed. Given the relevance of exploring new sources of Water Resources, given the scarcity and difficulty of access to quality water by many people around the world, which has been progressively increasing with its population growth. A full-scale prototype of the Atrapaniebla model was built and tested in the city of Penedo, state of Alagoas, in order to investigate the functionality of this structure, as well as to approach in a more technical way the possibility of obtaining drinking water through an Alternative Water resource. and little explored like the dew. Due to intrinsic characteristics of the Penedo region, with the constant occurrence of vegetable soot, caused by the burning of sugar cane, the experiment proved to be unfavorable to the exploitation of this water source, presenting expressive results only at the end of its data collection, when the burning of the cane field no longer occurred. However, through the analysis of the results collected in the field, we attest its functionality and recommend its use in appropriate places, as it is a simple, low-cost technique, without electricity consumption, with the use of local materials that can be used by the populations. as an option for human water supply and food production for their own consumption.
