Bacterial Water Quality of Rainwater Fed Domestic Hotwater Systems
Rainwater harvesting within the urban environment is being increasingly recognised for its important role in reducing pressures on mains water supply and reducing stormwater runoff. The extent to which rainwater tanks can improve our management of the urban water cycle depends on the level of usage of the rain-harvested water. By incorporating the hotwater service into the suite of uses of harv...
متن کاملAnalysis of adaptation determinants of domestic rainwater harvesting systems (DRWHs) in Golestan Province, Iran
Most residences of the northern parts of Golestan Province, have historically used rooftop rainwater for drinking. Its adoption rate and continued use have declined in recent years for various reasons. Based on a survey of 380 cases, this research attempted to identify what factors are contributing to the adoption of these systems. The results demonstrated that the adoption changes in response ...
متن کاملLife cycle assessment of domestic and agricultural rainwater harvesting systems.
To further understanding of the environmental implications of rainwater harvesting and its water savings potential relative to conventional U.S. water delivery infrastructure, we present a method to perform life cycle assessment of domestic rainwater harvesting (DRWH) and agricultural rainwater harvesting (ARWH) systems. We also summarize the design aspects of DRWH and ARWH systems adapted to t...
متن کاملSustainability of Rainwater Harvesting System in terms of Water Quality
Water is considered an everlasting free source that can be acquired naturally. Demand for processed supply water is growing higher due to an increasing population. Sustainable use of water could maintain a balance between its demand and supply. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is the most traditional and sustainable method, which could be easily used for potable and nonpotable purposes both in reside...
متن کاملDimensionless Analysis for Designing Domestic Rainwater Harvesting Systems at the Regional Level in Northern Taiwan
A regional-level and dimensionless analysis for designing a domestic rainwater harvesting system (DRWHS) was developed. To consider various combinations of water demand, storage capacity, effective roof area, and rainfall in DRWHS design, two dimensionless ratios were used, namely, demand fraction and storage fraction, along with a relationship between the two ratios. Firstly, Northern Taiwan w...
