Abstract

The water crisis is becoming a dominant issue all over the world. This issue also occurs because of poor water distribution, wasteful use, and absence of sufficient and proper water management system. In order to prevent the water scarcity problem, the rainwater harvesting system (RWHS) is introduced by the Malaysian government. But, poor vector control in the rainwater harvesting tank will cause serious vector reproduction and will lead to vector diseases like dengue, malaria, yellow fever, and others. The dengue cases in Malaysia has risen from 72 cases for 100000 population in 2001 to 361 cases in 100000 population in 2014. In order to overcome this vector reproduction problem and smartly manage the rainwater vector control and water flow management for rainwater harvesting tank prototype had been developed.
