Descripció:

This work aims to consider the existing water circle in Sud-Oest del Besòs neighborhood and to propose possible solutions for its modification in order to make water consumption more sustainable. With limited funding, it was decided to explore the possibility of reusing rainwater and to find out the best solution. This research explores such topics as water quality, water quantity and water supply. In order to reveal the optimal model, several scenarios and replicable parts of the area are studied.This research uses five schools in Besos as the subject of this study. After extensive research into relevant case studies and evaluation criterias, and by studying the current playgrounds and roofs’ functional layouts, surface runoff and potential rainwater harvesting in these schools, the aim is to come up with proposals with SuDs interventions, rainwater reuse and distribution strategies for different original school situations, so that the school grounds can provide more enjoyment and shelter to children and also benefit the rest of the community.
