Análise de desempenho de sistema de drenagem urbana na cidade de Remígio - PB.

Abstract

The rapid process of urbanization that Brazil underwent contributed to its mismanagement. This disorganized process brought, among other problems, problems in basic sanitation and even more in the most relegated aspect of sanitation, which is urban drainage. Cities grew and became more and more impermeable as they did not worry about the fate of increasing runoff. In this context, this work aims to evaluate the performance of the drainage system of a small basin in the city center of Remigio-PB through computer simulations using SWMM software. The results show that despite recent changes in the drainage system in question, it remains inefficient for rainfall with return periods of 10 years or more.
