RAINWATER CATCHMENT COMPUTATION:

To calculate the required rainwater storage tank capacity,

Tank capacity (m3) = Catchment area x Ave. monthly inlet
rainfall x 25% x collection efficiency

Where:
average monthly rainfall = 156 mm

Solution: overflow
Storage tank capacity = 52.00 m2 x 0.156m x 25% x
80%
= 1.622 cu.m.
= 1,622 liters
WATER
THEREFORE:
USE 1.62 cu.m LITERS RAINWATER CATCHMENT TANK
HAVING A DIMENSION OF 1.15 M. DIA. X 2.50 M. IN HT.

faucet
USING D= 1.20 m CIRCULAR TANK
2
h = 4(1.62)/ (1.20)
h = 6.48 /3.14(1.44)
h = 6.48 /4.52

h = 1.43 MTS. SAY 1.50 MTS. 1.20m

ILLUSTRATION:
THEREFORE, FOR A ROOF SURFACE OF 52.00 sq. m. AN RCS WITH
A MINIMUM STORAGE CAPACITY OF 1.62 cu.m IS REQUIRED
TANK WITH A DIAMETER OF 1.2 m. IS TO BE USE, THE HEIGHT OF
THE TANK SHOULD BE 1.5 m.
