Secondly all care must be taken to see that underground sewer. Its uses include water for gardens,
livestock, irrigation, domestic use with proper treatment, indoor heating for houses, etc. In reference
to this, the USGBC states, “A sustainable building maximizes operational efficiency while
minimizing environmental impacts” (USGBC September 2008). Early Tech Adoption: Foolish or
Pragmatic? - 17th ISACA South Florida WOW Con. Only (38%) of respondents treat their cistern,
(77.1%) add chlorine tablet, (10.0%) put filters on the water source entrance, (1.4%) do both of
treatment practices, these sanitary practices indicate that the municipality of Yatta region is
cooperative and helpful for peoples with respective of cistern water sanitary practices. In Australia,
RWH used before tenth century, which collected on roofs as primary sources for drinking purpose.
Channels all around the edge of a sloping roof to collect and transport rainwater to the storage tank.
According to people’s education, marital status and profession, there is a significant relationship
between these variables and awareness scale. In addition to the field measurements mentioned
above, collected samples were sent for biological analysis. Free flow of storm run off into these tanks
and water bodies must be ensured. The. There are good opportunities for Rainwater
harvestinginKerala because Kerala is. The objective is simply to arrest the silt in the rain runoff
generated from the catchments before its percolation into the natural soil strata. Activating the role of
the agencies responsible for water quality; monitoring and working on documenting the results. Page

scarcity of safe water recourses, the access to clean water is a challenge (Ahimah and Ofosu, 2012).
The major causes of increased risks on human health are unplanned environments, increasing
crowding, inadequate operation and maintenance, dysfunctional facilities and consequently open
defecation (Johannessen et al., 2014). Waterborne diseases caused by viable microbial pathogens
such as a virus, bacterium, prion, fungus, viroid or parasite are closely related to environmental
processes transported across surface and ground water. Valid data on the economic efficiency of
rainwater harvesting systems is not possible. The reason is that no sincere attempt is made to
replenish the ground water table with rainwater during. Alternatively, the tank may be placed above
ground as shown in Figure 2-3. Page 15. Table 3: Cross-tabulation between the age of the

package which includes all you need rather than having to decide on each component individually.
Recharge Shafts:- For recharging the shallow aquifer which are. The suitable pH for the existence of
the most biological life is between 6 and 9 (Mahmoud, 2010). There is no conveyance losses in
ground water based supplies. Presented by Jack Holmgreen SparkleTap Water Company. Rainwater
harvesting in urban and rural areas offers several benefits including. They had dug 3 bore wells and a
pit of 6ft X 4ft pit. Do any of family members get sick with diarrhea during the last months. In this
experiment, first thing M Coliforms were prepared. Then, 4.8 g were suspended in 100 mL distilled
water containing 2 mL of ethanol. Fecal coliform is an indication of presence of ammonia in higher
concentration than geogenic level. With these two elements of the system determined, the
conveyance systems can be situated.
Do any of family members get sick with vomiting and diarrhea during the last two months. Domestic
water demand for consumers with rainwater harvesting. The total estimated area of Yatta (i.e. study
area) is 24.6 km2, of which 9.1 km 2 are classified as a 'built up' area; however 8 km2 are agricultural
areas. Table 23: Cross-tabulation between “Do you notice turbidity in water?” and “Do any of family

catchment is low cost but need suitable site, constructing walls to be blockade depressions and to be
suitable rainwater catchment. Posters all over Tamil Nadu including rural areas create awareness
about harvesting rain water. Consider a building with a flat terrace area of 100m2. It involves
utilization of rain water for the domestic or the. There are three primary RWH catchment methods
include ground, rock and rooftop catchments. Journal of Water and Health, (5.4). JeanCharles, M.
(2007) Rainwater Harvesting Systems for Communities in Developing Countries. The water-health
relationship has been investigated through a well-designed questionnaire that targeted a statistically
representative sample of household in Yatta town. Rainwater harvesting enables efficient collection
and storage of rainwater makes it accessible and substitutes for poor quality water. The amount of
evaporation in Hebron in 2013 is 1974 mm (PCBs, 2013). 1.3.5. Temperature The hottest days of the
year occur during the summer month of August. The problem manifested in existence of sewage
pipeline in align with water sewer networks which leads to leakage of sewage to drinking water
pipes and thus causing pollution for water (Al-Khatib et al., 2005). The result from Jenin RWH
concludes that there is a relationship between the in which samples were taken and the level of
contamination with FC and the free chlorine residual concentration which increases in the winter
season compared to the summer. Once the sizes of the tanks are completed, the conveyance system
must be designed. Trenches:- These are constructed when the permeable stram is. In summer months,
the humidity falls to 55% and the weather is dry. This classification of risk is recommended by WHO
standards. Government of India. 2003. Details on Water Harvesting. In designing an RHS, multiple
buildings may be connected to one tank, as illustrated in Figure 2-4. The collected grey water is not
to be mixed with potable water in case of backflow. Consideration should be given to the fact that
when it first rains dirt and debries. It is also a good option in areas where good quality fresh surface
water or groundwater is lacking or difficult to avail. Fiberglass underground storage tanks will be
used as the detention basins for the purpose of this study. I appreciate the support of the friends who
accompanied and helped me in field work, and the support of everyone provided me a required data.
This experiment done in Birzeit University laboratories for environmental and water tests using

Some cisterns have an age of more than 50 years (2.4%). Page 51. Then, the absorbance was
measured at 425 nm in a 1 cm cell after 15 minutes against H2O. The most effective and efficient
intervention for the diseases evaluated was sanitation which the high results from WASH related
with high socioeconomic levels (Gentry-Shields, 2014; Joshi e al., 2013). Page 30. Only cost is

research idea for you. Increase in run-off, decline in well yields and fall in water levels. Of the 247
samples tested samples tested for FC, they were 172 (69.6%) of good quality, and had no risk, while
21 (8.5%) of the samples had low risk, 33 (13.4%) of the samples had an intermediate risk level, 21
(8.5%) of the water samples showed high risk level, and none of these samples showed very high risk
level. Moreover, it is noticeable there is a statistically significant relationship between cleaning the
cistern and incidence with eyes diseases, that’s mean that it is possible avoid the incidence with eyes
diseases by take care about cistern cleaning it periodically. In the summer, there are differences on
pressure which created wind movement from cooler air in the west to the east. Ground water is key
to life in arid and semi-arid regions. The feasibility of rainwater harvesting in a particular locality is
highly dependent on the amount. National Environmental Health Association.76, 6. Naiman, R.,

Company, USA. Based on the existence of the microbiological contamination indicators in the RWH,
a number of pollution sources were discussed in this paper, which is strongly suggested to be
considered as contamination prevention strategies are developed. Some scientist described coliform
bacteria as microbial indicator; it is not detect to any illness but their presence in water is a predictor
to bacteria, protozoan or viruses. Gutters need to be supported so they do not sag or fall off when
loaded with water. The stored water is used for various purposes, such as gardening, irrigation, etc.
FC test done by following steps, membrane filter which 0.45 ?m were placed through which the
sample (100 mL) was filtered onto the top of the saturated absorbent pad. Then, 1 mL was added and
1% Bacto Rosolic Acid were suspended in 0.2 N NaOH solution and were Page 43. Even though
this practice is expensive, the cost for storage tanks will be repaid from the savings on water
payments in 20 years for RHS Scenario 1 and 14 years for RHS Scenario 2. There are good
opportunities for Rainwater harvestinginKerala because Kerala is. Following are the main objectives
of preparing this assignment. Table 3: Cross-tabulation between the age of the respondents with

below and will receive 1 LEED point for each building to which it is applied. Harvested rainwater
can be used for all non drinking water uses. It is perceptible that there are no exceeding WHO and
PSI guidelines values for all the pH, alkalinity, conductivity, TDS, chloride, ammonia, and residual
chlorine. This method of adjoining buildings to the same storage tank is both efficient and cost
effective, but it is only applicable to certain scenarios. Water pipes are coated by using cement mortar
which may release amounts of ammonia that react with chlorine and reduce its disinfection effect on
drinking water (WHO, 1996). The need to build cesspits in accordance with the sanitary standards,
environmental and construction suitable to prevent contamination of rainwater collected in cisterns
and on the lower level of the rainwater harvesting cisterns. It is situated between 680 and 860m
above sea level as shown in Figure 2 (Abu Sa'deh, 2012). During the short rainy season, rainwater is
harvested on rooftops and concrete surfaces.
Accounts of serious illness linked to rainwater supplies are few, suggesting that rainwater harvesting.
The RWH adoption varies from one place to another due to the public awareness such as legislative,
technical and financial support toward this kind of practice (Lim and Jaint, 2013). Presence of
bacteria is an indicator of water pollution (Mahmoud, 2010). Following are the main objectives of
preparing this assignment. Ground water is usually of high bacteriological purity. It is concluded,
based on the findings of this work, that the surrounding environment, cistern management practices,
and the cistern owners’ weak awareness of preventing rainwater contamination are the main factors
that contributed to RWH contamination. Advantages of greenhouses are the prevention of
evaporation, temperature control and the protection of plants from wind and pests. SWMM extracts
the flow hydrograph information from HEC- HMS at sub-basins to route hydrographs through
sewers, conduits, and open channels (AECOM 2008). All the secondary sources of water like rivers,
lakes and groundwater are entirely dependent on rain as a. Eisenman, S. (2009). Operational VP and

family members infected with typhoid during the last two months. Curve numbers for the watershed,
specified in the Bryan-College Station Unified Design Guidelines (2007), are specified as 77 for
landscaped areas. Positive toward used RWH in wide regions in another hand, it is less positive
toward used HRW on a personal level. In winter, due to the depression of temperature, there are
easterly winds. Average annual maintenance cost would be around Rs 200-300 for two labourers
once in a year to. The research reached that the cistern type is a reason to incidence of diarrhea in
Yatta town. This method approximates the initial abstraction as the volume of water stored by the
RHS, based on the storage capacity of the system. The Storm Water Management Model (SWMM)
(U.S. EPA 2008) was used for hydraulic simulation. The presence of free residual chlorine in
drinking water is related with the absence of live pathogenic organisms which caused the disease
(Mahmoud, 2010). The questionnaire included questions related to the general information about the
person, building, RWH cisterns, sewage cesspit, surrounding environment and the presence of
disease. According to AI-Khatib and their authors (2005) result that (85%) of have zero degree of
contamination (no risk), while (7.8%) in the second degrees of contamination (low risk) and (6.8%)
of samples are third degree of contamination (intermediate risk level). As a simple precaution, RWH
should be disinfected before usage for drinking purposes. Both increased rates of runoff from
previous development and the impact of anticipated development should be addressed through
mitigation efforts. Dr. Issam Al- Khatib who had the primary role in opening my scientific path and
inspired me throughout the thesis period, which in turn was not to be completed without his
guidance and supervision. The collection system carries the water from the catchment to the
detention basin, which allows the water to be stored for future irrigation use. Table 3: Cross-

the purpose of this study. There is a significant relationship between treating cistern water, checking
the cistern and cleaning the cistern with age of the respondents (Tables 3 - 5). Hence the water
scarcity is going to be a critical problem if it is not treated now in its peanut. Surface water is
inadequate to meet our demand and we have to depend on. Three tables (Table 3, 4, and 5) explain
the relationship between the age of the respondents and three practices which are related to
awareness practices toward hygiene of cisterns. Effect of Soil Structure Interaction on Buildings with
Stiffness Irregularity. Figure 12: Specific action before RWH collection 3.3. Cistern's Properties
There are different factors effects on the quality of RWH; the roof type, the age, the location, the
local climate, atmospheric pollution, drought period and presence of plants surrounding (Lay, 2010).
Due to rapid urbanization, infiltration of rain water into the sub-soil has decreased. This was done in
accordance with the standard methods for the examination of water (APHA 1998). Germany
(Biggest harvesting system in Germany is at Frankfurt Airport, collecting water from. Additionally,

USGBC states, “A sustainable building maximizes operational efficiency while minimizing
environmental impacts” (USGBC September 2008). This is usually accomplished by making
connections to one or more down-pipes connected to the rooftop. The volume and timing of water
that is readily available may not be sufficient to supply the demand for potable water in urban areas.
Figure 4 shows rainwater harvesting cisterns in Yatta town and water sampling from the cisterns.
Rainwater harvesting is one of the simplest and oldest methods of self-supply of water for
households usually financed by the user. Al-Khatib,I. A., Daoud, F.,Rasmawi, F.,Wa'rra,
