Rainwater Harvesting – Reaping a Free and Plentiful Supply of Water
Rainwater harvesting (RwH) is part of the sustainable drainage systems (SUDS) approach, which gives equal value to water quality, water quantity, biodiversity and amenity. This chapter examines the relevant recommendations and guidance that have seen increasing interest in SUDS and RwH in England. It explores RwH design, cost and performance in order to emphasise the importance of these factors in encouraging the use of sustainable water resource management. Many of the studies discussed indicate that increasing the size of the volume capability increases flood resilience. However, in financial terms whole life costing (WLC) and cost‐benefit analysis (CBA) both suggest that the smaller the installation, the increased likelihood that RwH will have a reasonable payback period, and in areas where water is metered, offer monetary savings on mains water used.
