Projeto, execução e implantação de uma bacia de evapotranspiração em uma residência no Bairro Maria Madalena – Itaituba - Pará

Abstract

This paper deals with the design, execution and implementation of an Evapotranspiration Basin in a residence located in the Maria Madalena neighborhood in the municipality of Itaituba, Pará. The Evapotranspiration Basin is a sustainable technology for the treatment of sewage from residential toilets, based on the natural processes of evaporation and transpiration of plants, aiming at the purification of domestic effluents. The research proposes a low-cost solution suitable for low-income families, where basic sanitation is precarious or non-existent. The methodology involves the construction of the system using easily accessible materials, such as recycled tires, resulting in a viable alternative from an economic and environmental point of view. In addition to promoting sanitary adequacy, the system favors the cultivation of plants, reinforcing the principles of sustainability. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique, its construction practice and its potential replication in similar contexts, contributing to improvements in sewage treatment for socioeconomically vulnerable families.
