Rainwater Harvesting
The proposed RWH knowledge domain includes but not limited to the following:
- Inventory of on ground RWH techniques already practiced for domestic and agricultural uses.
- Identifying of RWH suitability factors and thus developing of RWH suitability maps.
- Site selection criteria of RWH in different scales and accordingly identifying proper RWH techniques.
- Social and environmental impacts of RWH techniques implementation at different levels (e.g., employment analysis, risk analysis, etc.).
- Economic feasibility of implementing proper RWH techniques (e.g., life-cycle assessment, cost-benefit analysis, etc.).
- Rooftop rainwater harvesting and associated water quality issues for domestic use.
- Optimal sizing of rooftop rainwater harvesting tanks.
- Impacts of implementing RWH techniques up streams to mitigate flood generation down streams.
- Impacts of adopting proper agricultural RWH techniques to increase crop productivity and as such enhancing food security.
- Review of the existing regulatory frameworks for the adoption of potential RWH techniques in the national water plan
