Abstract

As discussed in the previous chapters, the rainwater harvesting system consists of three components, namely the rainwater collection, rainwater storage, and water supply/irrigation subsystems. In this chapter before discussing the construction and operation and maintenance (O&M) of these 3 subsystems, we will start with a general consideration of the building materials for the RWH project.
