Proposal of rainwater harvesting coefficient (RWHC) for determination of effectively usable rainfall depth, relevant to rainwater harvesting systems design

RBRH, 2018
The study measures rainfall data to determine a rainwater harvesting coefficient revelant to rainwater harvesting and catchment projects assisted by non-parametric statistics tests, based on assumption that part of the total rainfall depth is discarded ...
