Developing a methodology for appraising rainwater harvesting with integrated source control using a case study from South-West England (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A methodology has been developed to design and evaluate rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems incorporating “retention and throttle” passive control. Two drainage design options were developed and assessed using hydraulic models for a case study site in...
