Rain Water Harvesting in a Garden House Sample

In this study, some information was given about rain water harvesting and its potential to water supply was analyzed by sample taken from the roof of a model residence. Within this purpose, the amount of harvested rain water was calculated by using roof surface and monthly precipitation data. Furthermore, in order to determine how much water to be supplied, a cost analysis was made by calculating the amount of water to be used for irrigating the garden, filling in the pond, washing the car, and watering the barnyard fowl. Additionally, period of redemption was determined by comparison between the cost of rain water harvesting system and the cost of city water disposal per annum
