Apoyo en el diseño del sistema de saneamiento básico para el proyecto “Escuela rural sustentable” en la finca Reserva de La Mariposa Amarilla, ubicada en el municipio de Simijaca, Cundinamarca.

Abstract

The problem of lack of basic sanitation systems is not something alien to what can be seen daily in Colombia as a country region, and is one of the pillars of more emphasis on which should work from the sanitary engineering. In the municipality of Simijaca, in fact, there is a municipal aqueduct and sewage system, and there is also a collection system as is usual in any city in Colombia, however, it lacks full coverage and there is an absence or intermittency in some of the municipality's villages. Thus, the project is proposed for the sustainable rural school that will be located in the property Reserva de la Mariposa Amarilla, located in the Don Lope village with the objective of designing a basic sanitation system in the municipality of Simijaca, where three methodological phases are proposed, consisting in the first option, In the second stage, a study of the collected information is carried out, making an analysis based on data obtained from sources such as DANE, SiB Colombia, IDEAM, and CAR. Finally, the basic sanitation system is designed with components such as: water supply suitable for consumption with a rainwater harvesting alternative and a fog catcher system, domestic wastewater treatment with two possible alternatives to be selected depending on geographic and economic conditions, and finally, a solid waste management, treatment and utilization system is proposed with alternatives such as composting and separation of usable waste at the source.
