Feasibility Study of Rainwater Harvesting Systems
Rainwater harvesting (RWH) and utilization systems have been in use since early Roman times, dating back to 2000BCE. The published literature contains hundreds of studies on feasibility of RWH systems. To give a glimpse of feasibility studies carried out so far, a few studies covering different aspects are presented in this chapter. A feasibility study of any project or idea in general is a process during which one tests an idea's viability. There are three important questions that should be asked when undertaking any RWH system in a location/region: Does the community need it? Does the community want it? And can it be done? If yes, at what cost? For a RWH system, these translate into physical, social, technical, and financial assessments. The case study selected is to show the amount of field data that needs to be collected to carry out a detailed feasibility analysis.
