Engineering Form

Complete the roof material, drainage arrangement, and catchment area assessment in this single engineering form.

Question 1. Housing structure

Enter the width and depth. The area will be calculated automatically and used in the final storage calculation.

Question 2. Construction material used for roof

Question 3. Arrangement of Rainwater Drainage

Question 4. Assessment of Catchment Area

Fill at least one row. Area is calculated automatically from Length x Width.

Type of area Width (in ft) Length (in ft) Area (L x W) Number of drainage points and diameter of each point

Question 4. Underground Tank

This question is enabled only if Underground tank was selected in SEAF facilities.

Tank Depth Width Length Capacity (D x W x L)

Question 5. Overhead Tank

This question is enabled only if Overhead tank was selected in SEAF facilities.

Tank Depth Width Length Capacity (D x W x L)

Question 6. Proposed storage capacity of tanks

Select the proposed storage capacity for the RWH Unit tanks.

Question 7. The house is not appropriate for RWHU

If such is the case, please briefly enlist the reasons for rejection.

Question 8. Calculating household's water need and determining required storage capacity

Calculation of rainwater that can potentially be harvested through available catchment area/s.

Description Calculations
Total available area (in square feet) that is exposed to rainwater and can act as catchment area (A) Calculated from Question 1 housing structure dimensions.
A = Square feet
Convert area (A) into three dimensional space assuming 01" (0.083 ft.) of rain has fallen (S)
S = 0.083 x A = Space in cubic feet
1 cubic feet of space can hold
28.32 liters of water
Run-off factor
0.9
Quantity of rainwater that can be harvested (Q)
Q = Liters
