RESUMO

The human behavior has caused countless damages to the environment; consequently it is necessary to review attitudes and habits of resources consumption, among them the use of water. Although this subject is up for a discussion in several countries, it is noticed that most people still do not realize that the necessity for the water preservation is essential for human survival and that they play a decisive role in its conservation inside a building. In general, this often happens because it is not enough to inform the people about the crisis of the water, it is necessary to make them review their concepts and values, their consumption patterns and make them sensible of this problem, in order to change their attitude on behalf of a sustainable development. Inserted in this context, starting from a program of conservation of water developed at UNICAMP Hospital, this work consists of a study about the activities regarding the domestic use of water in this building. The results were obtained based on interviews and observing the users dealing with the water, in order to identify the main sources of waste and the actions that could be implanted for the rational use of water. Keywords: plumbing system, rational use of water, domestic use of water, hospitals, human? behavior
