Resumen

Este artículo presenta el panorama general del proyecto de aprovechamiento de aguas lluvias (AALL) de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Bogotá (PUJB). En Colombia se han desarrollado algunas investigaciones que contemplan el AALL, pero no se han desarrollado investigaciones que consideren sistemas urbanos de drenaje sostenible para este propósito. El proyecto de AALL de la PUJB es el resultado de un proceso de investigación desarrollado desde el 2007 por el grupo de investigación Ciencia e Ingeniería del Agua y el Ambiente, dentro del marco del proyecto de gestión ambiental de la PUJB y con el apoyo de Oficina de Recursos Físicos. La tecnología escogida, humedal-construido/tanque-regulador (HCTR), recoge la escorrentía de un edifificio de parqueaderos de la uni-versidad (3776 m2), de la cancha de fútbol y de las áreas alrededor del sistema (14 816 m2). El HCTR cuenta con un programa de monitoreo encargado de registrar los cambios del agua en términos de cantidad. Los primeros resultados del comportamiento del HCTR muestran que el sistema cumple su propósito, en cuanto a atenuación del pico y del volumen de escorrentía. Adicionalmente, este sistema puede verse como un laboratorio a escala real para estudiar la biodiversidad y los impactos ecológicos dentro de procesos hidrológicos e hidráulicos.

abstract = "This paper presents the overview of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Bogot{\'a} (PUJB) RWH (rainwater harvesting) experience. In Colombia, few researches have developed projects for RWH; and no researches have considered SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) for RWH purposes. The PUJB{\textquoteright}s RWH project was a result of a research process that started within the campus in 2007, by the research group Ciencia e Ingenier{\'i}a del Agua y el Ambiente (from the same university), within the framework of the PUJB Environmental Management Plan and the collaboration of the Physical Resources Office (PRO) of the University. The chosen technology, constructed-wetland/ reservoir-tank (CWRT), collects stormwater runoff from a university parking building (3,776 m2), the soccer field and the areas that surround the system (14,816 m2). Recently, a monitoring program focused on the main changes of the stormwater quantity of the system was launched. The first results show that the CWRT fulfils its purpose in terms of peak and volume runoff attenuation. Additionally, the system can be seen as a full-scale laboratory to study the biodiversity and ecological impacts within the hydrological and hydraulic processes. It is expected that this system would be an example for future RWH projects and to be a tool for future researchers.",
