Climate variations significantly influence the design and operation of stormwater harvesting systems.Changes in precipitation patterns, increased frequency of extreme weather events, and temperature fluctuations can affect the volume and intensity of stormwater runoff. System designs must be adaptable to these variations, with the capacity to handle increased flows during heavy rainfall and accommodate periods of drought.
Furthermore, the selection of appropriate technologies, storage capacities, and treatment methods needs to consider the specific climatic conditions of the region. Climate-resilient stormwater harvesting systems ensure optimal performance under diverse weather scenarios, contributing to effective water management in the face of ongoing climate changes.
