RAINWATER HARVESTING not only reduces potable water consumption, it also cuts down on energy use.
"Geographic information system (GIS) databases were developed for
rainwater collection sites to identify areas where water is collected during rainy seasons.
For example, although the mountains or in a remote forest with air that is free and clear of contamination,
rainwater that fell on it always contains ingredients - dissolved materials, such as CO2, O2, and N2, and materials - suspended material such as dust and particles - other particles carried by rain water from the atmosphere[5, 6].
"The conference is designed to facilitate the sharing of experiences in
rainwater harvesting and management through the presentation of papers on planning, research and development activities in harvesting
rainwater", said al-Khatib.
The housebuilding market is slowly embracing
rainwater harvesting according to MTW, with at least one housebuilder identified in the report committing to include
rainwater harvesting systems in all its developments in the next 4 years.
The 134-litre

Rainwater harvesting needs no amendments in LDA's building and zoning regulations.
Therefore, the objectives of this study are to construct a RWH system for domestic use in a small household of a rural area (Bajua) of Khulna, to evaluate the effectiveness of the
rainwater harvesting system, and to monitor the quality (physical as well as chemical) of harvested
rainwater as well as to assess the acceptability of
rainwater use for domestic purpose.
The city is blessed by a huge amount of rainfall during the monsoon period, which poses ample opportunity to use this
rainwater in a sustainable manner [25].
Several areas of the city's centre, Saddar, were under accumulated
rainwater and gutters were seen overflowing on Zaibunissa Street, Empress Market and other places.
