Rivera Cruz Jorge Luis | Sosa Ortega Marcos | Garrido Rosado Rafael | Hernndez Corona Sergio

Abstract: We have as a general objective to evaluate the viability of the RCS (Rainwater Catchment Systems) in the ITSSNP (Instituto Tecnolgico Superior of the Sierra Norte of Puebla) through the measurement of the degree of environmental impact, based on its own research methodology, which is divided into 3 stages, Theoretical, Practice and Analysis. The following impacts are obtained as a result of the compilation of data on the supply of drinking water and rainwater inside of the facilities of the ITSSNP carried in a field logbook Social, it makes the population aware of the benefits of collecting rainwater towards the environment, Environmental, it is based on reducing the consumption of drinking water obtained from the emanation of aquifers damaged by over exploitation. Implementing the RCS, a sustainable solution is provided, which generates a new alternative of water supply in quantity and quality for the population. The implementation of a RCS is an excellent alternative to supply basic needs, thanks to the fact that rainwater is a natural resource that the population does not take advantage of in its entirety, being an option to have a better quality of life in the future.
