Potabilización de agua de lluvia, alternativa en el trópico seco.

Abstract

La región Chorotega de Costa Rica se ubica en la zona de vida tropical seca, lo que la hace altamente vulnerable ante los impactos de cambio climático y los periodos de sequía. Por lo que es de suma importancia la búsqueda de alternativas sostenibles para obtener agua, y sustentar la alta demanda de este recurso durante periodos secos. Razón por la cual en el Centro Mesoamericano de Desarrollo Sostenible del trópico seco (CEMEDE) se desarrolló un proyecto cuyo objetivo es aprovechar el agua de lluvia con fines de potabilización dentro de las instalaciones de la Universidad Nacional, Sede Regional Chorotega, Campus Nicoya, como modelo de adaptación al Cambio Climático. El proyecto involucró la implementación de tecnología para captación, almacenamiento y potabilización del agua de lluvia. También incluyó la comparación cuantitativa de parámetros fisicoquímicos y microbiológicos en agua almacenada durante siete meses con y sin tratamiento, para conocer la eficiencia del sistema de potabilización. Los resultados muestran que el tratamiento realizado en el agua lluvia captada es eficiente, debido a que no se detectó presencia de coliformes y hay un leve aumento de las sales disueltas en el agua, condiciones que hacen que el agua tratada sea apta para el consumo humano.
