However, this investment might make your home or building self-sufficient and, if adequate
rainwater is available in your area, could mean you don’t need to be hooked up to a city water supply
or dig a well, which could be a money-saving situation, too. Water related diseases such as diarrhea,
diarrhea and vomiting, and eyes diseases with high percentages are anticipated to be a main
consequence of the poor water quality. Page 5. As such to overcome this problem, unconventional
ways of storing water are mandatory for the study area. This article is an open access article

Approach Md.Rubayet Mortuza Dhaka is the most densely populated mega city of this world.
Practically, this research proposes the amount of rainwater that is available to be harvested in
Islamabad, which will help decision makers select appropriate sites for water storage and to
formulate policies for the implementation of rainwater storage designs and water management. The
associated costs of a rainwater harvesting system are for installation, operation and.
Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank Comsats University, Riphah University, Deakin
University, NUST, University of Southern Queensland, and Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP)
for the support provided for this research. A force convection was introduced by the solar powered
fan that increased the convective velocity of the air inside the cavity. Roof top catchment is water
stored above less susceptible to contamination (Barens, 2009). Page 27. RWH system is popular in
rural Australia, part of India, Africa and parts of US (JeanCharles, 2007). Rainwater Harvesting
(RWH) Description Rainwater harvesting (RWH). The results confirm that the methodology adopted
in the current study gives reliable results for the study area. Recharge of groundwater through storm
run off and roof top water collection. Amanat Ullah Shortage of water for residential use is a
concern all over the Bangladesh, especially in major cities like Chittagong. There is a strong
correlation between water disinfection and its bacteriological quality (Al-Khatib et al., 2005). 1.5.2.3
Turmus'ayya, Al-Mughaier and Singel RWH practice 123 were collected from the rainfed cisterns of
three villages in the Ramallah and Al-Bireh district during the summer months and were tested for
TC and FC. It is especially beneficial in the areas, which faces the scarcity of water. Finally, they
were dispensed onto sterile absorbent pads. This residual chlorine disables the bacteria and some
viruses that cause diarrheal disease; and thus it is a measure of the extent of the validity of water to
drink. Most of the respondents use cistern water for drinking, household requirements and irrigation
purpose Figure 13. I appreciate the support of the friends who accompanied and helped me in field
work, and the support of everyone provided me a required data. Feature papers are submitted upon
individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive. From where to
harvest rain Housetops In case buildings with impenetrable rooftops are already in the place, the
catchment range is successfully accessible free of charge and they give a supply at the point of
consumption. Once such strategies are implemented, RwH engineering solutions can be
implemented, including small dams, pit holes, porous roads, and building structures with RwH and
green infrastructures to move towards smart and sustainable cities and eventually to a smart planet,
as per the United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDGs). The study showed that if the
rainwater is utilized for domestic purposes, including bathing and gardening, then it can be a viable
solution to solving household water demands and concerns. A water tap may be attached for direct
access to water and a drainage nozzle to convey water to the main tank. Consequently, same level of
performance could have been achieved. It consists of a container with a gate panel placed in the
middle. Fresh rain water falls on the ground like pearls, so everyone should understand the
importance of rain water especially in developing regions and rural areas lack of natural water
blogger.comted Reading Time: 10 mins. The MAC aluminum tube implemented a highly reflectivity
surface which promoted the radiative cooling and buoyancy effect.
The airflow of each solar-powered fan was measured by using the hot wire thermo-anemometer
airflow meter with telescoping probe, which is designed to fit into the center of the small openings.
Through BIM, houses were designed with local knowledge and observations. Formally means
permanent storage systems while none formally means not to establish a storage, but only to put pots
under roof edges (Cowden, 2008). Water demand management is a way of educating people in how
to change the culture of how people use water. Grey water reuse is often designed into a rainwater
harvesting system as a way to make the harvested water go farther, as it can be used more than once.
Where contaminated water is considered as the reason of many of transferred diseases such as
diarrhea and in many cases caused mortality (Mosler, 2011; Al- Khatib et al., 1112; Gentry-Shields et
al., 2014; Evans et al., 2014). Page 29. Four small-scale cool roof models were designed and
constructed to inspect the performance of the rooftop and attic temperatures. Before the latter half of
the twentieth century, RWH systems were used predominantly in areas lacking alternative forms of
water supply, such as coral islands (Krishna, 1989) and remote, arid locations lacking suitable surface
or groundwater resources (Perrens, 1975). The amount of evaporation in Hebron in 2013 is 1974 mm
(PCBs, 2013). 1.3.5. Temperature The hottest days of the year occur during the summer month of
August. Helmreich, B. and Horn, H. (2009), “Opportunities in rain water harvesting,” Desalination,
248(1-3), pp. Furthermore, most of the ventilations in factories is poor and fairly airtight, mostly due
to the lack of air circulation. Excess flows are routed to a lower collector and stored (UNEP. Rain
water harvesting comprises of storage of water and water recharging through the technical process.
As a result of water body contamination and a lack of water conservation, we are currently facing a
water shortage. Early Tech Adoption: Foolish or Pragmatic? - 17th ISACA South Florida WOW
Con. The problem manifested in existence of sewage pipeline in align with water sewer networks
which leads to leakage of sewage to drinking water pipes and thus causing pollution for water (Al-
Khatib et al., 2005). The result from Jenin RWH concludes that there is a relationship between the in
which samples were taken and the level of contamination with FC and the free chlorine residual
concentration which increases in the winter season compared to the summer. The greater difference
between the demand line and the average rainfall provides the storage capacity of a tank that is
meant to hold all of the rainwater. Typical commercial buildings of catchment area ranging from
(120m 2-1242 m 2) and tank sizes (15m 3-60m 3) have been considered. In the BIM environment,
houses were modeled for all three sites, and calculations were performed. Such cleaning should take
place annually before the start of the major rainfall season. As rainfall is usually unevenly distributed
throughout the year. Recharge Shafts:- For recharging the shallow aquifer which are. However, there
are few health risk assessment which linking between consumption of water from different sources
and its risks (Fonseca et al., 2014). 1.5.4. Contamination in RWH 1.5.4.1 Water Quality indicators
for RWH In Palestine, available water is affected by its source. In this experiment, conical flask was
brought filled with 50 ml a (RWH) sample which was measured in flat bottomed then, two drops of
Rochelle salt were mixed. Issues and challenges related to rooftop rainwater harvesting system have
been discussed to highlight. Finally, they were cooled to room temperature and 2 mL of broth were
added to each sterile absorbent pad placed in a Petri dish. So the selection of roof material is
important as it affects the quality of rainwater which invariably affects the usage as potable or non-
potable. In Australia, RWH used before tenth century, which collected on roofs as primary sources
for drinking purpose. All of them were drawn from rainfed cisterns that receive only rainwater. A
more complex system that would provide more potential end uses for the water would include a
collection system and several layers of filters to keep dirt and debris out of the water supply.
Multiple requests from the same IP address are counted as one view. This idea was used to deduce
the water demand for each month and to deduce the potential of rainwater harvesting. Figure 4
shows rainwater harvesting cisterns in Yatta town and water sampling from the cisterns. Usually,
surface water exposed to pollution, so it need to treating to become usable (Al-Khatib et al., 1112).
In Gaza, Yassin et al., (2006) collected water samples from cisterns and networks then they
calculated the bacterial contamination percentage by total and fecal Coliforms (FC) in Gaza
Governorate. The water can be used on a daily basis and aid in town and city water bill reduction.
They developed a Decision Support Tool for the performance analysis and design of rainwater tanks.
A similar prototype is used for all of the sites, as most of the construction in this region is the same,
as shown in Figure 6. After calculating the RwH potential for each month, the cumulative potential
was also calculated for all of the sites and was plotted. In addition, harvesting and storing rainwater
can be a less expensive way (compared to desalination or piping water long distances) to guarantee
safe, clean water for drinking and home use, as well as gardening, watering livestock, or agriculture.
Formally means permanent storage systems while none formally means not to establish a storage, but
only to put pots under roof edges (Cowden, 2008). Thus, RwH projects are difficult to implement,
but they mitigate the developmental effects when they are properly executed. A questionnaire has
been designed to investigate the water-health relationship. Rainwater harvesting is the process of
gathering and storing precipitation using artificially constructed systems that drain from naturally
occurring or artificially created catchment areas, such as rooftops, compounds, rock surfaces, hill
slopes, and artificially restored impervious or semi-pervious land surfaces. In these conditions, water
can be saved by as much as 85%. According to AI-Khatib and their authors (2005) result that (85%)
of have zero degree of contamination (no risk), while (7.8%) in the second degrees of contamination
(low risk) and (6.8%) of samples are third degree of contamination (intermediate risk level). The
capital cost of rainwater harvesting systems is highly dependent on the type of catchment,
conveyance. However, the bamboo roofs are least suitable because of possible health hazards. This
way, some dirty water is stored in the pipe, which is later flushed out by opening the valve. There are
several methods to harness rainwater, ranging from relatively necessary to highly complex industrial
systems. Usually, on the roof or the ground, rainwater is collected. Other variables, such as
catchment area and type of catchment surface, usually can be. Theoretically, this research provides a
baseline methodology for identifying the potential of RwH worldwide and in other regions of
Pakistan. Harvesting rainwater can be part of a larger system that includes grey water recycling, but
they are not the same thing. According to people’s education, marital status and profession, there is a
significant relationship between these variables and awareness scale. In spite of higher average
annual rainfall in India (1,170 mm, 46 inches) as compared to the global average (800 mm, 32
inches) it does not have sufficient water. It refers to storing of rainwater for various uses.
Construction of deep wells is costly and can harm the natural environment. The yellow color
indicates that the test is done and the alkalinity is measured from the amount of H2SO4 used. Issues
and challenges related to rooftop rainwater harvesting system have been discussed to highlight.
Variations on this basic approach include collection of rainwater in gutters. It is perceptible that there
are no exceeding WHO and PSI guidelines values for all the pH, alkalinity, conductivity, TDS,
chloride, ammonia, and residual chlorine.
In such circumstances, the storage capacity should be large enough to. In the last few years in
certain areas of the UK hosepipe bans were implemented, although demand for garden watering is
less than 3% of the overall demand for a house. In this experiment, conical flask was brought filled
with 50 ml water sample (RWH) which measured in flat bottomed then, small amount of potassium
dichromate KCr2O7 (orange indicator). Based on the existence of the microbiological contamination
indicators in the RWH, a number of pollution sources were discussed in this paper, which is strongly
suggested to be considered as contamination prevention strategies are developed. On average, Site 1
receives 1435 mm of rainfall; Site 2 receives 1212 mm, while Site 3 receives 1225 mm of rainfall
annually, which helped us to understand the rainfall pattern in Islamabad and highlighted that
Islamabad receives a fair amount of rainwater that can be stored and used for domestic utilities.
Journal of the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management, 3(19). Sampling of
rainwater was performed during January 30, 2015. The storage of rain water on surface is a
traditional techniques and structures. As a result of water body contamination and a lack of water
conservation, we are currently facing a water shortage. Thus, RwHTS can be leveraged to develop a
self-sufficient and sustainable built environment. Compared with most unprotected traditional water
resources, drinking rainwater from. Influencing factors for Rainwater Harvesting Quantity of
Rainfall Precipitation is the foremost unusual and unpredictable variable and thus, to decide the
potential water supply for a given catchment, solid precipitation information is required, ideally for a
period of at least 10 years. Since the rooftop area and recharge coefficient are the same for all of the
sites, there more rainfall in this area than there is in other sites. Rainwater conservation is also
practised in individual homes and apartments. As rainfall is usually unevenly distributed throughout
the year. Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe
will be particularly. A complete requirement sheet that shows the demand of all of the materials
involved in the process, i.e., from excavation to the finishing stage of the buildings, can be created.
Installations of Rainwater Harvesting Systems can be made to serve institutions like schools,
hospitals, and other public facilities, as well as scales as diverse as homes, neighbourhoods, and
communities. Palestinian Standards Institution (PSI) (2004) Water quality standards. Therefore, the
standard average of five people in each house is taken for storage capacity analysis. Finalized data
and design need to be handed over to the implementers and constructors. In addition, the live wire
from the three pin plug was connected to the connector “2” that completes the circuit design for this
thermal sensing triggered pump ( Yew et al., 2020 ). Furthermore, if the rainwater harvesting
techniques are considered for the whole city, then the satellite data are definitely recommended for
appropriate, reliable and accurate results. Based on the results, the rate of temperature increase in the
aluminum tube was higher than the rate in the attic region due to the MAC being directly attached
below the rooftop that received much higher heat transmitted. Rainwater harvesting is the practice of
collecting and storing rain for reuse, rather than letting the water run off and be absorbed into the
ground or channeled into drains, streams, or rivers. The most common RWH surface type used to
collect rainwater is a roof of the house (69.6%) which (97.1%) of them was built from
Reinforcement concrete. Page 52. Other variables, such as catchment area and type of catchment
surface, usually can be. Such technologies are really important for a country like India. Therefore, it
is very difficult to estimate the roof size for a flat, and there are hardly any data available for the
roof area (RA) of flats. Decision makers can benefit from this concept by identifying the months in
which water availability is at its maximum, and the water demands can be fulfilled using the
conserved water sources.
