Abstract

The Philippines is known for its abundant water resources such as the rainfall, where it has a mean annual rainfall range from 965 to 4,100mm. Due to the rapid urbanization of the country, the population in Metro Manila has been continuously increasing hence, the demand for a potable water supply also increases. To mitigate the scarcity of potable water supply, utilization of the water resources should be practiced. Rainwater harvesting is one way to utilize the rainfall runoff. This study analyzedthe potentiality of the rainwater harvesting on residential areas in Metro Manila. A water balance method based spreadsheet was used with input parameters including daily rainfall, catchment area, runoff coefficient, population and the water demand. The efficiency of the domestic water tank was analyzedusing the three different climatic conditions (i.e., minimum, median andmaximum annual rainfalls) and three different types of toilets (i.e., inefficient, conventional and dual-flush toilets). Furthermore, the overflow volume was used to determine which size of rainwater storage was more appropriate for the study area. The results of the study showed that for the three types of rainfall years, only the conventional and dual-flush toilets were suitable for the utilization of rainwater harvesting. The utilization of the $60m^3$ storage tank was sufficient for supplying the demandsof the 90 houses only for a small period of time, 3 months. Based from this study, to fully sustain the long-term water demand of the houses, the enlargement of the tank size having a capacity of 1,100 to $2,500m^3$ is ideal.

필리핀의 연평균강수량은 약 965mm ~ 4,100mm로 수자원이 비교적 풍부하다. 필리핀의 최근 급증하는 도시화로 인해, 필리핀의 마닐라 지역에서는 용수의 수요량이 매년 증가하는 추세이다. 용수의 부족을 해소시키기 위해 필리핀의 풍부한 수자원을 적절하게 사용하여야 하며, 이를 위한 방법 중의 하나로 강우의 유출수를 이용하는 우수저류시설이 가용하다고 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 마닐라 주거지역에서의 우수저류시설에 대한 잠재가용성을 분석하였으며, 그 방법으로는 일별강우, 유역면적, 유출계수, 인구밀도 그리고 용수수요량 등을 매개변수로 사용하는 물수지방정식을 이용하였다. 세 가지 강우조건(연평균 강우중 최소, 중간, 최대값)과 세 가지 화장실종류(저효율식, 재래식, 절수식)에 따른 가정용수탱크 사용에 대하여 분석하였다. 그리고 대상지역에서의 최적의 강우 저장 면적을 결정하기 위해 월류용적을 사용하였다. 연구결과 세 가지 강우조건에서, 재래식과 절수식 화장실이 우수저류시설에 가장 부합되며, $60m^3$저류용량의 탱크는 3개월간 90가구의 용수수요를 충분히 공급 가능 하다고 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 주거지역의 장기간 용수수요를 충족시키기 위해서는 저류탱크 용량은 $1,100m^3{\sim}2,500m^3$이 적당하다고 판단된다.
