Rainwater harvesting collects precipitation for irrigation, toilet flushing, or emergency use. It reduces groundwater demand and stormwater runoff.
Công thức
Calculate: Annual collection = Catchment area × Annual rainfall × Collection efficiency
Hướng dẫn từng bước
- 1Calculate: Annual collection = Catchment area × Annual rainfall × Collection efficiency
- 2Roof collection: 90% efficiency, pavement: 70%, storage needed for dry periods
- 31000 m² roof, 1 m rain: 700-900 m³ water available
Ví dụ có lời giải
đầu vào
Residential roof 100 m², annual rainfall 500 mm
Kết quả
Annual collection ~45 m³ (45,000 L), covers 30-40% irrigation needs
Location dependent
Lỗi thường gặp cần tránh
- ✕Under-sizing tank for dry season needs
- ✕Forgetting overflow management (can cause flooding)
Câu hỏi thường gặp
Is rainwater safe to drink?
