• Abstract:

  In school environments one of the 

  sources of waste water are the troughs. Such waste comes from the way the fountain

  itself operates, because it prevents a person can drink water continuously without

  causing waste. On of the above this article has in order to quantify the amount of water

  wasted by the use of the troughs of the Instituto Federal de Sergipe, Aracaju Campus.

  It was initially raised the amount of appliances, then was attached a 20 litre drum for

  collection of water wasted at the time of use. These containers were engaged in eight

  drinkers, who have had your waste measured daily. The volumes collected ranged

  from 4.29 litres (water cooler 1) until 222.65 litres (water cooler 4), totaling 626.19

  liters. The average daily collected ranged from 0.43 litres (water cooler 1) to 22.74

  litres (water cooler 4) result in an overall average of 74.51 liters/day. on the basis of

  the obtained results we can conclude that waste a lot of water, and this volume could

  be collected and reused in non-potable uses, such as cleaning of floors and garden

  irrigation, reducing the use of potable water for these purposes.
