Analysing Rainwater Harvesting System to Reduce Climate Change Vulnerability

This project has three objectives. First, to create an alternative water supply for urban uses especially during dry periods, and second, to build adaptation measures to reduce potential flooding. Third, to present policy implications of implementation of rainwater harvesting systems.  

The challenges of the project are determining the water quality of the rainwater that will be continuously collected from the roofs, reusing it after a suitable compact treatment process, and decreasing the discharge and the load on wastewater treatment plants by including this wastewater in the sewerage system after use.

Overall, this project aims to reduce urban climate vulnerability through promoting rainwater harvesting with a holistic management system by addressing its potential challenges.
