Abstract

The issue of clean water availability occurs not only in arid regions but also in areas with abundant rainfall, such Palembang City, Indonesia. This research aims to evaluate the performance of a rainwater harvesting (RWH) system simulated on a rain roof area (house roof) with areas of 36 m2, 45 m2, and 60 m2. Furthermore, this research also serves as a development of the final de-sign of the RWH system for household scale. The method used in this research is forward engineering and a combined development model: definition – design – simulation - development. From the results of the study, it is concluded that the RWH system with a filtration pipe (8-inch diameter and 90 cm long) has a harvesting capacity of 0.65 m3/day. The simulation results indicate that the RWH system on roofs with areas of 36 m2, 45 m2, and 60 m2 yields water harvests of 62.8%, 55.4%, and 46.4%, respectively. The designed RWH system for residential buildings includes main components such as an L-shaped sedimentation pipe (4 m long PVC pipe with a 4-inch diameter), a filtration pipe (PVC 8-inch, 0.9 m long), an overflow pipe (PVC pipe with a 2-inch diameter and 2 m long), and is equipped with a water storage tank.
