The selected technical performance evaluation parameters are reservoir capacity, the performance of gutter and downpipes and water quality. This research was formulated through literature review, analysis of some case studies on rainwater harvesting, and to a certain extent, semi-structured interviews and questionnaires, data from primary and secondary sources also used for the purpose. Using existed data on rainwater harvesting systems, a graph was established to figure out the relationship between tank size, roof area and the number of users with a percentage of time tank empty, coefficient of water utilization and reliability ratio so that easily understand and design economical water harvesting structures and cistern sizes for collection of rainwater. The research finds out that, in general, lack of standardization and awareness, policy issues, poor system operation or management lack of regular monitoring and maintenances are among the main technical performance problems on the promotion and implementation of the technology. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Building Technology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Causes of project abandonment in building construction industry and remedial measures»Causes of construction project failures and abandonments in Nigeria»Safety procedures and accident prevention methods in construction sites»Control of Noise Pollution and Sound Insulation in Buildings ( A Case Study of a Broadcasting Studio)»The implication and benefit of the use of softwares in building project construction (case study of selected software and firm)»Maintenance and servicing problems of specialist works in building»The effect of quality control in the building construction process (a case study of Afikpo, Ebonyi state)»A study of prospects and problems of timber as external material in building production in hot climate region»The impact of budgeting and budgetary control in construction project delivery in Nigeria»Challenges of low-cost housing delivery in Nigeria (Case study of Imo state)»Use of formwork design and construction of high building»Project planning and programming as tools for effective project delivery»The use of building survey for maintenance of building in Nigeria ( A case study of one storey building at Owerri, Imo state)»Design and construction of office complex for school of environmental design technology»Effects of labour management in building construction site - case study of Owerri, Imo state
