Rainwater Harvesting Potential in Public Buildings: A Case Study in Katip Celebi University

Abstract

Due to environmental pollution, population growth, climate change, industry development and uncontrolled water consumption, the amount of usable water today is running out. So, Municapilities are forced to find alternative water sources. For this reason, rainwater harvesting again gains interest among researchers, engineers etc. In this study, determination of the rainwater harvesting potential in Izmir Katip Celebi University is studied. The data from the flowmeters, which are installed in the men-women toilets in the central classrooms are recorded and the catchment area is calculated. According to the data, the amount of rainwater to be collected can meet the use of water in the toilets flushing. The study shows that the implementation of the rainwater harvesting system in the public buildings will contribute to reducing bill costs, and therefore the drinking water resources will be used more efficiently.
