Metodología para calcular volúmenes de aprovechamiento de aguas lluvias como respuesta a la variabilidad climática en Bogotá

Abstract

This work is part of the hydrology and hydraulics research group in the field of civil engineering. A methodology is proposed for the sizing of hydraulic structures in buildings related to the use, storage, and/or buffering of rainwater. To this end, theoretical elements are described based on the analysis of existing methodologies in accordance with sustainable construction criteria, sustainability certifications, local and national regulations, the Colombian Sustainable Construction Council, and other methodologies associated with the calculation of hydraulic structures for the efficient use of resources. The main sources of information were entities such as the District Institute for Risk Management and Climate Change (IDIGER), the Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies (IDEAM), and the Bogotá Water and Sewer Company (EAAB). Based on total daily precipitation and comparing various climate variability models, the presence or absence of climate variability in Bogotá is determined by analyzing rainfall regionalization using the extraction, imputation, and cluster generation methodology. Homogeneity and stationarity tests are then performed for each of the stations in the study area – Bogotá D.C. Finally, a comparative analysis is conducted between some existing projects in relation to the developed methodology, to determine its relevance.
