It presents case studies with numerous examples from around the world which will help anyone intending to design or construct a rainwater catchment system. The prime focus of the book is on implementation of roof and ground catchment systems for meeting either total or supplementary household water requirements. All aspects of design and construction are covered including simple methods of sizing systems, erection of gutters, choice of materials, construction techniques, training, operation and maintenance. In addition, non-technical factors such as water quality, health, social, cultural, political, institutional and gender issues are discussed. The text is fully supported with drawings and photographs and a detailed illustrated step-by-step account is provided of how to build several different types of household rainwater tanks with volumes from 2 to 90 cubic metres. Rainwater Catchment Systems is based on practical experience and lessons learnt during over 20 years constructing and researching rainwater systems in Africa and Asia. It will be of use and interest to project managers, development workers, water engineers, architects, builders, researchers and appropriate technology enthusiasts.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantis Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46282072621291,"sku":"","price":95.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/7492\/8875\/files\/IMG_2025-03-19-15-12-21-180.jpg?v=1742352438"},{"product_id":"interior-space-designing-by-yasuo-kondo","title":"Interior Space Designing by Yasuo Kondo","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a second-hand copy of the book \u003cem\u003eInterior Space Designing\u003c\/em\u003e by Yasuo Kondo.
