  The key sources of water supply are rain water, underground water and surface water. Rooftop rain water harvesting is a technique through which the rain is captured from the roof catchments and. The objective of this study was rooftop rain water harvesting potential for a domestic purpose using samsam water tool. This can be used in dry and wet seasonal situation based up on the roof size and population density, which plays a crucial role in socioeconomic development and keeping the community school welfare. The RTRWH is the most reliable, easiest to access, and suitable source for water supply. This study was carried out from June 2018 to December 2019 based on case study of 3 Jimma University Institute of technology Kito furdisa campus. Since this rainfall data, rooftop catchment, water consumption and water demand data were used as an input. Based on the findin.. View More»
