Precipitable Water for Human Consumption in Rural Areas: Calculation Method and Engineering DesignBy Carlos Armenta-Déu
Abstract: This work describes a methodological process to estimate the precipitable water for human consumption as a function of meteorological parameters like ambient and dew point temperature, water vapor and ambient pressure, and relative humidity. The paper uses empirical correlations to determine the most accurate procedure for atmospheric rainwater, resulting in a simple relation between precipitable water and dew point temperature as the highest accurate one. The study shows the dew …

Water reservoir engineering and managementBy Carlos Armenta-Déu
Abstract: This work aims to develop a practical system to store water in times of abundance and reuse it in times of scarcity. The proposed system uses natural caves, caverns, or empty underground spaces from mining or oil or gas extraction to store water. The geological structure of the water reservoir should be a non-porous substrate to avoid leakage. Water collection comes from dam discharge during thaw times or river flooding, …
