Abstract Rainwater harvesting is adopted to face water scarcity in arid regions. Many studies were developed Jordan estimate the potential of for several uses. However, precise estimation saving and cost benefits rainwater from roofs residential urban areas insufficient. Therefore, objective this study was investigate feasibility rooftops all eighty-nine Jordanian districts. The forecast number...

Perceptions of the quality of roof harvested rainwater remain an impediment to widespread implementation of rainwater tanks on urban allotments. Previous literature reports on roof water quality have given little consideration to the relative significance of airborne environmental micro-organisms to roof catchment contamination and the issue of tank water quality. This paper outlines the findin...

Rainwater harvesting is currently practiced widely in several countries worldwide on scales that vary according to rainwater availability as a mean of providing on-site supply of fresh water for isolated areas or those lacking proper water supply system. Different factors affect the quality of harvested rainwater mainly the multi-components of the collection system installed. In order to breakd...

The main objective of this study was to assess the quality and quantity roof-harvested rainwater overcome water shortage problem in area. We also aimed find health hazards associated with For purpose, samples were collected from five sites analyzed using standard methods World Health Organization American Public Association a laboratory. analysis showed that all physicochemical parameters withi...

Although rainwater harvesting (RWH) is gaining popularity as a sustainable water supply source in urban as well as rural areas, estimating required storage remains an important design challenge. This paper develops a robust, yet computationally simple equation for calculating required storage capacity for a RWH system, which is generally applicable in the United States (U.S.). A simulation mode...
