Title
University of Putra Malaysia - Study on Potential uses of rainwater harvesting in urban areas
Abstract
Rainwater harvesting is the collection of water volume from raindrops. Rainwater harvesting
has been the main source of water supply for potable and non-potable uses in the old days
because the water conveyance systems were not used for water distribution during these days
and the method used for rainwater harvesting was simple and primary (rainwater was mostly
collected from roofs and some was collected directly from the sky). Usage of the collected
water volume from rainwater harvesting was direct and without any treatment. Presently, the
water supply systems have improved but the demand is increasing due to the population
growth, and development. The available water resources are limited and/or seasonal, which
made the experts working in the water sector to search for solutions to the water shortage.
Many countries around the world are facing water shortages. Optimization of water usage and
the conservation of water as a natural resource can help to overcome water shortage.
Rainwater can be used for potable and non-potable uses.
