Alternativa de aproveitamento de água da chuva no Distrito Santa Fé – Marabá, PA : estudo de caso na EMEF Maria das Neves e Silva

Abstract

The communities farthest from the urban centers of Marabá suffer from the problem of low availability of water for consumption, where a large part is supplied by the presence of dams, wells and wells, presenting a deficit in their sanitary infrastructure. Social Technologies are presented as a set of products, techniques, and replicable methodologies, developed in the interaction of a given location or region, representing effective solutions for social transformation to problems that directly and indirectly affect the community. The proposed alternative for using rainwater at the Maria das Neves school aims to provide water for non- potable purposes to the school community. To this end, the study used as a methodological instrument the data provided by the Municipality of Marabá, responsible for the Water Supply and Sanitary Sewage Plan of Marabá-2019/2024, and the identification of the problem related to the local water supply, through dialogues with the community. The results showed that the Santa Fé District has only one underground water collection system and a large part of the population has individual wells to supply water to their homes, and there are still instances of water shortages when the supply system is maintained. The analyzes allow deducing about the viability of installing the TS for the use of rainwater, as an individual alternative aimed at guaranteeing access to water. Becoming a promising proposal for the rural area of southeastern Pará, helping the community coexistence and increasing its quality of life. It is opportune to point out, since water is a resource that can be considered renewable depending on the flow of rainfall, it is essential to know how the current rainfall in the environment in which it is inserted. Also noteworthy is the need to engage public forces and mobilize the local community, to expand the area of reach of this technology, thus enabling the appropriation of the proposal by the beneficiaries.
