摘要: This paper formulates a rainwater harvesting model, with system and economic measures to determine the feasibility of system, which uses water from mains complement system. Although local meteorological market data were used demonstrate it can also be easily adapted for analysis other localities. Analysis has shown that an optimum tank size exists, minimizes cost per unit volume water. Economic performance have indicated is currently infeasible implemented in Brunei; capital price being among prohibiting factors. To improve feasibility, combination rebate scheme on raising current been proposed. It more viable households high demand.
