Water related programs and projects are, certainly, some of the most common regarding sustainability on university campi. Rainwater harvesting and usage stand out among the main technologies to promote water sustainability in campus. This research presents a study of the city of Guaratinguetá’s pluviometric profile, an estimate of water consumption on the campus of Faculdade de Engenharia de Guaratinguetá (FEG), which were both used for a study of rainwater usage for non-drinking purposes on campus and the sizing of the volume of reservoirs required. It was observed that during the months with greatest potential for harvesting, water usage is lower than in the rest of the year due to recess. Using the monthly simulation method for reservoir sizing it was found that the highest percentage of consumption that can be met with the current campus’ catchment area is 94%, resulting in a necessary storage volume of 7,040 m³. Any system formulated to attend a percentage of consumption over 94% would be non-self-sufficient. This research also presents the volumes of reservoirs necessary for consumption percentages below 94%, values that can interfere with the feasibility of such a project, since the reservoir is, usually, the most expensive part of the system according to the literature.
