Abstract

The rooftop rainwater harvesting means the collection of water through the rooftop of the house or any other structure. The study was conducted at the farm in Mitkunai village, to determine the potential of rainwater from the roof of the farm and the optimal volume of the tank in years of different humidity. When the catchment area is 100 m2 rainwater harvesting potential is 23.6 m3, which can meet around 22% of the farm water demands. While the catchment area is 200 m2 in dry years, 43% of the accumulated water could be met, and in wet years, 65% of water demand. The volume of the storage tank varies from 14 m3 to 53 m3.
