The impact of climate change on the benefit of a rain barrel sharing network

摘要: Abstract The assessment of the impact climate change depends not only on quantitative changes in precipitation but also system characteristics that can be changed and enhanced. This study investigated effect building shared network a rainwater harvesting as an adaptation to scenarios. performance rain barrel under three scenarios global circulation models (GCM) is examined. A sample community composed four prospective users with individual storage tested various forms connections. Most importantly, results show benefit from barrels greatly increases conditions compared historical rainfall data. Especially, for high reliabilities, indicate future scenarios, whereas it does apparent improvement low reliabilities. However, highly dependent location In contrast, GCM considerably affect network. this highlight needs establish sharing networks systems conditions, which would significantly increase entire community.
