Abstract

This paper shows an economic feasibility analysis of Rainwater Harvesting Systems implementing in different regions of Brazil. For the sizing of reservoirs, water balance method and Yield After Spillage (YAS) criterion were considered, in addition to the criteria established by [1]. Comparing consumption and costs, the economic viability for the scenarios was evaluated. It was concluded that the greater rainwater demand, the shorter the payback time for recovery of the investment applied in the implementation of the Rainwater Harvesting System.
