Rainwater tank systems for urban water supply design, yield, energy, health risks, economics and social perceptions
Rainwater tank systems have been widely adopted across the world to provide a safe local source of water in underdeveloped rural areas, and as a substitution for mains water for non potable end uses in water stressed urban areas. They also provide flood control in monsoonal climates like Korea or in...
