ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT APPLIED TO SOCIAL ENGINEERING: THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SOLAR DESALINIZER FOR A SUSTAINABLE AND LESS INEQUAL BRAZIL

Abstract

Understanding the scarcity of water in the different regions of Brazil, the prototype of a solar desalinator becomes an excellent option for water sustainability, so domestic and industrial services will save the consumption of drinking water because they will use water from an ecological project and sustainable, not needing to use drinking water for their own purposes. The fundamental objective of the development of a solar desalinator is to use the heat generated by the sun's rays to carry out the desalination process of brackish water captured through artesian wells, sea, dams, acid rain, that is, water is not recommended for ingestion, aiming at produce drinkable and ideal water for humans. In this article, the importance of environmental management in social projects was discussed, quality tools that can be applied in environmental management were evaluated. The authors also evaluated two solar desalination projects found in the literature. The first project starts from a more professional assumption, including being applied in a humble community in northeastern Brazil, the second was a more experimental project developed by engineering students in Lorena -Sp. Thus, this article proposes to draw a parallel between them, arguing about the advantages and disadvantages, and always with the central emphasis on how such projects can directly impact social engineering in Brazil.
