    In Ecuador, the demand for research and projects within this field is significant due to the hydrological and energy crisis that the country is currently suffering. The design of a SCALL is a sustainable solution to collect and take advantage of rainwater, its implementation allows water to be captured, stored and used for various purposes. This system not only benefits users by providing an accessible and economical source of water, it also contributes to flood mitigation and the conservation of water resources in general. This project focused on designing a SCALL to supply the sanitary equipment of a university building, with the purpose of reducing the environmental impact by taking advantage of a natural resource such as water and solar energy. The research covers several phases to guarantee an adequate design, starting with a qualitative methodology, which was composed of a survey of bibliographic and field information, continuing with quantitative methods to calculate the necessary parameters for the design, and, with the obtaining of these data, plans of the system were made, detailing each component and its function. and finally, execute a referential budget. The technical design was based on the analysis of the building's water demand, considering international standards applicable within the national scope, and on the use of specialized software to model the hydraulic system. In addition, a unit price analysis was obtained to evaluate the economic viability of the system. The results obtained indicate that the SCALL can meet the monthly consumption of users per month, with a feasible assembly and system. On the other hand, the budget obtained indicates a considerable initial investment, while the saving of drinking water contributes significantly to environmental sustainability. Finally, concluding that the implementation of a SCALL is a technically and economically viable solution, with a design adaptable to similar buildings, promoting responsible practices.
