EVALUATION OF RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEM PERFORMANCE FOR DOMESTIC SUPPLY IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS

Abstract:

This research investigates the performance and viability of rainwater harvesting systems as an alternative source for domestic water supply in residential settings. With growing concerns over water scarcity and the need for sustainable water management, this study aims to assess the effectiveness of rainwater harvesting systems in meeting household water demands.

Employing a combination of field surveys, data analysis, and performance monitoring, the research evaluates the functionality and efficiency of installed rainwater harvesting systems across various residential areas. Parameters such as collection efficiency, storage capacity, water quality, and system maintenance are scrutinized to provide a comprehensive understanding of the systems’ overall performance.

The study also explores the socio-economic and environmental factors influencing the adoption and success of rainwater harvesting systems in residential communities. Surveys and interviews with homeowners, local authorities, and water management agencies contribute to a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing such systems.

By shedding light on the technical, social, and economic aspects of rainwater harvesting, this research aims to guide policymakers, urban planners, and homeowners in optimizing the design, installation, and maintenance of rainwater harvesting systems. Ultimately, the findings contribute to the development of sustainable water management practices, promoting the responsible use of rainwater as a valuable and decentralized resource for domestic supply in residential areas.

Chapter One:

Introduction

1.1 Background

Water scarcity is a pressing global concern, and as urban populations continue to rise, the demand for domestic water supply in residential areas intensifies. Traditional water sources are often strained, necessitating exploration of alternative and sustainable solutions. Rainwater harvesting systems have emerged as a viable strategy to augment water supply, particularly in residential settings. These systems capitalize on the abundant and underutilized resource of rainwater, offering a decentralized approach to water management. This chapter provides an overview of the context, rationale, and significance of evaluating the performance of rainwater harvesting systems for domestic water supply in residential areas.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

To identify the potential issues and improve the effectiveness, reliability and suitability of rainwater harvesting system in meeting domestic water demand.

While rainwater harvesting holds promise as a sustainable water source, there is a need for a comprehensive evaluation of its performance in residential contexts. The effectiveness of these systems can be influenced by various factors, including design, maintenance, water quality, and community engagement. Understanding the challenges and opportunities associated with rainwater harvesting is crucial for optimizing its implementation and ensuring its long-term viability as a domestic water supply solution.

1.3 Objectives of the Study

Aim of the study:

To evaluate rainwater harvesting system performance for domestic supply in a typical residential area

Specific Objectives

1. To determine the water demand of three categories of building prevalent in Okpuno, Anambra state

2. To evaluate the run-off coefficient and hydraulic properties of the harvested rainwater

3. To ascertain the financial implications of the current rainwater storage system in Okpuno, Anambra state.

1.4 Research Questions

1. What are the water demand of three categories of building prevalent in Okpuno, Anambra state

2. What is the run-off coefficient and hydraulic properties of the harvested rainwater

3. What are the financial implications of the current rainwater storage system in Okpuno, Anambra state.

1.5 Significance of the Study

This research contributes to the body of knowledge on sustainable water management by providing empirical insights into the performance of rainwater harvesting systems in residential areas. The findings will inform policymakers, urban planners, and communities about the potential of rainwater harvesting as a practical and sustainable solution for domestic water supply, fostering resilient and environmentally conscious residential water management practices.

1.6 Scope of the study

The study aims to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of rainwater harvesting systems for supplying domestic water in okpuno, Anambra state residential areas. This involves evaluating the systems capacity, collection surfaces and storage capabilities

The study focuses on evaluating rainwater harvesting systems specifically designed for domestic water supply in residential areas. The research will be conducted within a defined geographical area, and while efforts will be made to obtain a representative sample, the findings may not be entirely generalizable to all residential contexts. Limitations may arise from factors such as variations in local climate, socio-economic conditions, and the diverse technical specifications of implemented rainwater harvesting systems.

1.7 Organization of the Thesis

This thesis is structured to provide a comprehensive exploration of rainwater harvesting systems for domestic water supply in residential areas. Chapter Two reviews relevant literature on rainwater harvesting technologies, domestic water supply, and factors influencing the performance of such systems. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology, including data collection methods, sample selection, and analytical frameworks. Subsequent chapters present the research findings, discuss their implications, and conclude with recommendations for future research and practical applications.
