Abstract

Rain Water Harvesting (RWH) is a technology where surface runoff is effectively collected during rainfall data. In order to support such technologies RWH systems should be based on design, material and equipment. Harvested rainwater can be used for rainfed agriculture or water supply for domestic use in households. This report focuses on the design of the RWH system at a single storey house in Malacca and its benefits to domestic use like gardening, washing vehicle, watering flowers, cleaning the drain and construction work. The material used on each component of this system is also a recycled material. Design selected based on rainfall data from Malaysia Meteorological and concept of design. The data analysis can get the size of the tank for this project application by calculating the average bill water demand for daily use. The bucket method was used to identify where the material use in this system can be used and function on every component. The result show the water flow for low rain from 0.105 to 0.106 liter/s and for medium and heavy rain was approaching each other from 0.216 to 0.229. This happened cause of the diameter the pipe necessary to give a required flow rate will depend upon the head of water available, the smoothness of the internal bore of the pipe and the effective length of the pipe
