Desenvolvimento de um ferramenta computacional para subsidiar o sistema de monitoramento de água na Universidade Federal de Campina Grande - Campus Sede.

Abstract

The scenario of water use in public and private institutions has been gaining more and more notoriety with the implementation of programs for the rational use of water. The great crisis and water shortage that has reached and is reaching some regions of Brazil has become important for the creation of a planning and management of the demand and supply of water by the responsible bodies and in the consumer awareness. The city of Campina Grande, the second largest municipality in the state of Paraíba, suffered severe urban water supply problems, caused by the delicate water situation of Epitácio Pessoa reservoir, that contributes to the city. The headquarters campus of the Federal University of Campina Grande, a public higher education institution, that performs services aimed at the community and located in the city in which it bears its name, has developed its program of rational use of water aimed at combating water waste along its entire area. The present paper had the main purpose of developing a computational tool that focus on the management of the control and identification the waste of water in the blocks of the university. The computational tool was developed using the VBA programming language, present in Microsoft Excel and was named as “Sistema de Cadastro do Consumo de Água”, SCCA-UFCG. This program will formalize a report containing all the values and situations of the hydraulic consumption of each one of the buildings, providing a monthly summary of all registered information, allowing a better monitoring the volume of water used by each block and enabling to the interested party an easier analyze and manage of this resource.
