Stormwater harvesting can be successfully implemented in urban areas. Urban environments, characterized by extensive impervious surfaces, offer substantial opportunities for collecting rainwater runoff. Rooftops, roads, and paved areas serve as effective catchment areas. The harvested stormwater can be stored in tanks or underground reservoirs for later use in landscaping, irrigation, or other non-potable applications.
Implementing stormwater harvesting in urban areas contributes to sustainable water management, reduces the strain on municipal water supplies, and helps mitigate flooding issues. Additionally, it aligns with the principles of water-sensitive urban design, promoting resilience and resource efficiency in densely populated settings.
