A simple walk through of calculation and its result will provide astonishing insight about Rainwater savings potential. It also gives you the basic knowledge to design a good rainwater harvesting method for your house/apt/building.
What you need to calculate the potential savings of Rainwater
- Rainwater catchment area: Usually your house or building’s Roof area. Ex: 1200 Sqft or 100 Sqm
- Rainfall data: It could be daily or seasonal or annual Rainfall data of your area. Check you district’s rainfall data here.
- Water requirement per day : Approximately 150 to 200 liters per head per day.
How much?
Rainwater can be harvested by you
Rainwater catchment Area: The total amount of rainwater that is received in the form of rainfall over an area is called the rain water catchment of that area.
Efficiency of Rainwater collection: The amount of rainwater that can be effectively harvested.
Efficiency of Rainwater collection: The amount of rainwater that can be effectively harvested.
