A proposal for sustainable surface drainage on hard floors
Descrição
The Brazilian population, during the wetter periods, has faced great difficulties of locomotion in the
urban roads due to the accumulation of water on the surface, considering that the areas of natural
infiltration (soil) are being increasingly scarce through a process called soil sealing. This is due also
through the intense process of urbanization, particularly in the formation of metropolitan regions,
have been generated many problems of urban infrastructure, especially in relation to drain rainwater.
The volume of water collected by the urban drainage network is dropped directly into rivers and
streams, causing the water table decrease considerably. A solution is found the addition of thinning
in the gutters so that there is a decrease in the flow sluice gates, and also that increase the
permeability or renaturation. The new system adopted will solve the problem of waterproofing of
urban roads, since it will have the function of collecting the waters coming from the surface runoff
and throwing directly to the ground, making a balance in a sustainable way.
Keywords: Renaturalization, permeability and flow.
