Storage tanks from rainwater harvesting systems (RWHs) are designed to provide flow equalization between rainfall and water demand. The minimum storage capacity required take into account the maximum variations of stored volumes, i.e., active storage, depends basically on magnitude variability profiles size Given random nature variables involved in hydrological process, probability theory is a ...

For countries with an abundance of rain, there is definite potential to implement a rainwater harvesting system for different applications. This paper describes feasibility studies open-pond ablution purposes, analysing the quality harvested and formulating model suitable performance measures. The formulated can be used analyse in any locality by inputting local meteorological data. Quality ana...

Abstract ‘Multiple-use services’ (MUS) takes into account the fact that households use water for both domestic and productive uses. This paper is first to determine how managed aquifer recharge (MAR) systems are a form of MUS. Two cases were studied in India Kenya. In Kenyan case, sand dams MAR, check infiltration ponds various scales used. Through observations, interviews, quality data, it pos...

The rapid urbanization facing developing countries is increasing pressure on public institutions to provide adequate supplies of clean water to populations. In most developing countries, the general public is not involved in strategies and policies regarding enhancement, conservation, and management of water supply systems. To assist governments and decision makers in providing potable water to...
