Description

A review of practice in the collection of rainwater. It presents case studies with numerous examples from around the world which should help readers who are intending to construct a rainwater catchment system. The prime focus of the book is on implementation of roof and ground catchment systems for meeting either total or supplementary household water requirements. All aspects of design and construction are covered, including simple methods of sizing systems, erection of gutters, choice of materials, construction techniques, training, operation and maintenance. In addition, non-technical factors such as water quality, health, social, financial, cultural, political, institutional and gender issues are discussed.
