| description | Pakistan is located in the semi-arid region of the world where water scarcity is a major issue. In such areas, rainwater harvesting (RWH) is considered to be the best alternate source of domestic water supply. Rainwater harvesting is being considered as an integral part of the sustainable water management in many parts of the world. Rainfall patterns in arid areas are typically highly variable, both spatially and temporally. Hence, there is always a need to evaluate rainwater harvesting keeping in view the seasonal variations for a specific area. In rainwater harvesting, a mechanism is designed to collect surface runoffs effectively during rainfall events from residential rooftops. In this paper, it has also been analyzed that rainwater has a great potential to be taken as a source of water demands in residential colonies of major cities like Islamabad being our study area. Here, 116 m2 (five marlas) housing pocket has been considered as a model site for which various water demands have been calculated depending upon residential needs and horticulture requirements of the study pocket. Rainwater from rooftops has been used to reduce freshwater needs of the houses. As a result, residential water demands for fresh water have reduced by almost 22% average. |
