The objective of the presented study was to develop a high-temporal-resolution stochastic rainwater harvesting (RWH) model for assessing dual benefits RWH: potable water savings and runoff reduction. Model inputs rainfall demand are used in manner, maintaining their natural pattern, while generating realistic noise temporal variability. dynamic solves mass-balance equation tank, logging all inf...

Abstract The implementation of rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems depends on technical and socioeconomic assessments. However, most studies do not consider aspects, which could lead to different degrees RWH technology selection due economic constraints local regulations. We evaluated the potential for as an alternative water supply 24 southern Brazilian municipalities with less than 50,000 inha...

This work established a framework to identify and analyze the technical feasibility of roofs for integrating urban agriculture, rainwater harvesting, photovoltaic systems using various remote sensing. The was applied region north Barcelona. Three levels solar access requirements tomatoes, leafy crops, strawberries, microgreens were established. case study included compact disperse forms, reside...

Rainwater harvesting is a promising technique for more rational water use. However, its sustainability merits remain subject of ongoing debate among researchers. Life cycle assessment (LCA), method employed to measure the environmental impact varying solutions, helpful in this regard. Accordingly, paper delivers an integrative review based on PRISMA protocol, outlining challenges and potential ...

Increasing aridity and subsequent water scarcity are currently among the major problems of agriculture. Rainwater harvesting could represent a way to tackle this issue, and, as consequence, scientific research has been more focused on such topic. On other hand, few studies related economic environmental assessment rainwater systems in agriculture available. The present study carried out an anal...
