Pioneer Use of Pseudo Sub-Daily Timestep Model for Rainwater Harvesting Analysis: Acceptance over Hourly Model and Exploring Accuracy of Different Operating Algorithms

This study investigates the effectiveness of a pseudo sub-daily timestep model, which uses 6-hourly variable demands and daily rainfall values split into four equal portions. To assess achievements through such simulations were conducted using YBS (yield before storage), YAS after models data from station near Melbourne (Australia) city under different input conditions. Results developed compared with results an earlier hourly considered rainwater demands. From results, it is found that are more accurate to models. Considering only potential water savings, model very similar results.
