Kuinka laskea Rainwater Harvest

Mikä on Rainwater Harvest?

Rainwater harvesting collects precipitation for irrigation, toilet flushing, or emergency use. It reduces groundwater demand and stormwater runoff.

Kaava

Calculate: Annual collection = Catchment area × Annual rainfall × Collection efficiency

Vaiheittainen opas

  1. 1Calculate: Annual collection = Catchment area × Annual rainfall × Collection efficiency
  2. 2Roof collection: 90% efficiency, pavement: 70%, storage needed for dry periods
  3. 31000 m² roof, 1 m rain: 700-900 m³ water available

Ratkaistut esimerkit

Syöte
Residential roof 100 m², annual rainfall 500 mm
Tulos
Annual collection ~45 m³ (45,000 L), covers 30-40% irrigation needs
Location dependent

Yleisiä virheitä vältettäväksi

  • Under-sizing tank for dry season needs
  • Forgetting overflow management (can cause flooding)

Usein kysytyt kysymykset

Is rainwater safe to drink?

How large must storage tank be?

Rule of thumb: volume for one dry month. Location's dry season determines sizing.
