Abstract: Rapid urbanization has led to excessive surface runoff and increasing demand on water resources. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems offer an efficient and sustainable method of mitigating urban water stress. This paper presents a comprehensive approach for the design and optimization of RWH systems in urban settings. The study examines design parameters, performance modeling, and cost optimization for rooftops and community systems. Through simulations and case analyses, this research highlights scalable and efficient system configurations tailored for various urban environments.
Keywords: Rainwater harvesting, Urban design, Sustainability, Rooftop collection, Optimization, Stormwater management
