My research is on rooftop rainwater harvesting for kabul new city in Afghanistan where the annual mean rainfall is 327mm.
Dear,
Here is a good classic book entitled “A Manual for the Design and Construction of Water Harvesting Schemes” by Will Critchley and Klaus Siegert.
With bets regards,
Hailemariam
Roof-top rain water harvesting is highly suitable & beneficial in areas of low rainfall regions and also in water logged or salinity affected areas. We have implemented this successfully in some of the tiny islands in Arabian sea. The following paper may be of some use to you.
Of possible interest: Sustainable Water Management in the Tourism Economy: Linking the Mediterranean’s Traditional Rainwater Cisterns to Modern Needs is available online at www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/9/11/868/ (doi:10.3990/w9110868). Cheers, David
Dear Dr. Prasad bundle of thanks for sharing your work, In your paper the annual rainfall is 1512 mm, compared with Kabul precipitation it's so high, Is there any other research paper for low rainfall region? where the annual rainfall is less than 327mm.
Thank you
Dear Rahimi, do not look at the rainfall amount alone. Whether it is 327mm or 1512mm, every area will have its own water scarcity problem and rainwater harvesting method is one of the sustainable way of water conservation. This has been very successfully demonstrated in Lakshadweep Islands, where there is scarcity of fresh water for drinking and other domestic uses.
