| Sumario: | Marginalization in rural populations makes it difficult to supply water due to poor infrastructure that prevents users from obtaining water resources. Among the solutions to obtain water is the rainwater harvesting system (SCALL) through the roofs of houses. This work aims to reduce the water shortage in the community of San Antonio Alpanocan, Puebla, through the design of a SCALL. For its design, the materials and components necessary for its installation were selected; for the dimensioning of separator tanks and the storage of collected rainwater, the average monthly volume of precipitation was used; as catchment area, a housing prototype characteristic of rural areas located in seismic areas of Mexico was chosen. The results showed that this design could collect rainwater during four months of the year (June to September) to use for potable and non-potable domestic purposes. With the above, we conclude that the stored rainwater will have sufficient characteristics so that the inhabitants of the study area can use it in their daily domestic activities and reduce the problem of scarcity that they currently face. |
