Aproveitamento de energia fotovoltaica para o bombeamento de água em comunidades da Resex Tapajós/Arapiuns, Santarém-Pará

Abstract

The present research has the objective of studying and analyzing water pumping through photovoltaic panels in two communities in the Tapajós Arapiuns Extractivist Reserve in Santarém Pará. This was done through a bibliographical and field research in the Resex region where participating in meetings, of conversations and monitoring the installation of photovoltaic pumping systems. Aiming to subsidize the development and implementation of the system that starts through a feasibility study where the Center for Advanced Studies in Social and Environmental Promotion - CEAPS, whose fancy name is Projeto Saúde e Alegria, develops participatory projects promoting the development of rural communities, starting with the local reality and the needs of the community for the development and implementation of the project. The methods used in the research had the combination of being explanatory and descriptive, since we spent two years participating directly in the activities within the reserve, observing closely all the particularities. According to the bibliographic study developed, it is possible to show that the photovoltaic pumping system is a favorable alternative for implantation in isolated communities, be it in the environmental, sustainable and even economic aspect. In addition to realizing that the data of the world health organization are alarming, regarding the mortalities related to lack of drinking water and basic sanitation. Finally, the viability of these systems for the implantation in the communities was verified, whose necessity already is enough accentuated.
