Rainwater Harvesting

open access: yesInternational Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2023
Abstract: One of the severe issues that is well recognized on the planet is the water scarcity. Overexploitation of groundwater and surface water resources is the outcome of population growth, urbanization, and industrial expansion. Due to uneven rainfall, the traditional water sources, such as wells, rivers, and reservoirs, are unable to supply all of

Effect of contour rainwater-harvesting and integrated nutrient management on sorghum grain yield in semi-arid farming environments of Zimbabwe

open access: yesActa Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2022
The application of insufficient amounts of mineral fertiliser, coupled with unreliable precipitation, has caused a drastic reduction in the yield of sorghum in the smallholder-farming areas of Zimbabwe.

Integrated systems for rainwater harvesting and greywater reuse: a systematic review of urban water management strategies

open access: yesWater supply : the review journal of the International Water Supply Association, 2023
Combined, decentralized systems for rainwater harvesting and greywater reuse may enhance the water security of urban areas by reducing dependence on the main water supply, in particular during critical periods, such as the dry season.

Modelling seasonal household variation in harvested rainwater availability: a case study in Siaya County, Kenya

open access: yesnpj Clean Water, 2023
Rainwater harvesting reliability, the proportion of days annually when rainwater demand is fully met, is challenging to estimate from cross-sectional household surveys that underpin international monitoring. This study investigated the use of a modelling
