STUDY ON THE POSSIBILITY OF THE RAINWATER HARVESTING HOUSE UNDER SERIOUS DROUGHT CONDITION

Abstract

 The rainwater harvesting house which had flood control function was constructed in Fukuoka City on April 2014. Under the serious drought condition or large-scale disaster, supply for daily life water is a major problem in JAPAN. In this field study, we suggest the possibility of rainwater harvesting as a sustainable water supply option in highly urbanized areas. From the field observation data on the rainwater harvesting house, rainwater proper management could reduce water and flood crisis in the urbanized areas.
