Jinsi ya kukokotoa Rainwater Harvest
Rainwater Harvest ni nini?
Rainwater harvesting collects precipitation for irrigation, toilet flushing, or emergency use. It reduces groundwater demand and stormwater runoff.
Fomula
Calculate: Annual collection = Catchment area × Annual rainfall × Collection efficiency
Mwongozo wa Hatua kwa Hatua
- 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
Mifano Iliyotatuliwa
Ingizo
Residential roof 100 m², annual rainfall 500 mm
Matokeo
Annual collection ~45 m³ (45,000 L), covers 30-40% irrigation needs
Location dependent
Makosa ya Kawaida ya Kuepuka
- ✕Under-sizing tank for dry season needs
- ✕Forgetting overflow management (can cause flooding)
