Rainwater Harvesting and System Design in Livestock Farms

The most critical threat that global warming poses is undoubtedly water scarcity. Especially in the agricultural sector, an indispensable component. Therefore, it essential to develop alternative resources and methods against scarcity threatens our future. In this study, rainwater harvesting potentials on roofs of livestock barns were determined, system designs made. study was carried out at Bursa Uludag University Faculty Veterinary Medicine Animal Health Production, Research Application Center. According results, harvested December, least August. While required requirement examined poultry farms can be supplied 71.5% 13.3% completed sheep farms, 90.4% need with 216.9 m3 collected while transferred other months. possible supply 57.4% cattle winter months, rate drops 16.4% summer dairy hand, harvesting, by storing existing transferring different periods. Rainwater systems designed for pay themselves 7 years latest.
