Evaluation of rainwater harvesting systems performance in runoff production and in grape yields
Low rainfall and its poor distribution in the West Azerbaijan province have hampered agricultural production in dry-land. One of the important solutions in this regard is converting rainfall into runoff. In this study, a field experiment in Khoshalan village of Urmia on grapes in rainfed conditions with supplementary irrigation and rainwater harvesting was carried out in a split-plot design bas...
متن کاملMandatory urban rainwater harvesting: learning from experience.
Rainwater harvesting is effectively mandated in several urban areas of New Zealand. To understand the costs and benefits of rainwater harvesting from an end-user perspective, semistructured interviews were conducted with 14 homeowners in northern Auckland affected by these regulations. Residents report differences in four aspects of urban rainwater infrastructure - security of supply, water qua...
متن کاملRisk Analysis Approach to Rainwater Harvesting Systems
Urban rainwater reuse preserves water resources and promotes sustainable development in rapidly growing urban areas. The efficiency of a large number of urban water reuse systems, operating under different climate and demand conditions, is evaluated here on the base of a new risk analysis approach. Results obtained by probability analysis (PA) indicate that maximum efficiency in low demanding s...
متن کاملRainwater Management in Compliance With Sustainable Design of Buildings
Continuous growth of population and consequent growing need for drinking water is a global problem. Effective use of rainwater for for toilet flushing, laundry, gardening or washing thus saving about 50% of drink water. Overall, urban drainage presents a classic set of modern environmental challenges: the need for cost-effective and socially acceptable technical improvements in existing systems...
متن کاملRainwater harvesting: A gardening necessity in semi-arid regions
This research aims to introduce the water supply method required for pistachio orchards in semi-arid climatic regions using the rainwater harvesting technique. For this purpose, a rain catchment system with an area of 1000 m2 was constructed at the Tasuj Station site. Based on the mean annual rainfall of the region, runoff threshold, runoff coefficient for insulation surfaces and the area of th...
