Water shortage as well as water control problems including urban flood and drought have led to developing technologies for rainwater utilization in order to provide a sustainable water supply. However, relatively few works have been done to improve the water quality during rainwater utilization. Therefore, in this study, the characteristics of rainwater were examined in terms of pollutant concentrations and outflow rate. A experimental rain and roof model($1m{\times}1m$) were produced to evaluate wash-off properties of pollutants. And rainfall intensity were standardized in 10 mm/hr, a experimental model roof catchment surface were coated in $TiO_2$ photocatalyst. Samples of runoff rainwater collected from a experimental model were analyzed for physicochemical parameters such as Turbidity, Suspended Solid, EC. The results show that the first flush of rainwater contains substantial amount of contaminants that potentially pollute the whole rainwater. Surface treatment of roof catchment area using $TiO_2$ photocatalyst allowed a better runoff property of rainwater because of its improved hydrophilicity.

To analyze changes in the water-balance before and after using decentralized rainwater management facilities, this study carried out hydrologic modeling based on data including roof planting, rainwater use, infiltration and detention facilities applied to the sites. The results of the analysis are as follows: First, the total runoff quantity after facility installation was about 24% less than before. In particular, it showed that the surface runoff declined significantly. Second, the analysis of the effects of different decentralized rainwater management facilities revealed that the rooftop planting contributed to about a 3.5 times increase in actual evaporation than before. Third, the analysis of the effect of decentralized management facilities by different rainfall events showed that it turned to have about a 30% decreasing effect after facility installation for a monthly rainfall over 500mm or so and about 50% declining effect for a monthly rainfall about 200mm. As discussed above, the study confirmed that it is important to implement decentralized rainwater management facilities to improve inevitable changes in water-balance arising from development as it would be a significant alternative for sustainable urban development.

Recently Ibadan in southwestern Nigeria has been facing severe water shortage due to the increase of population, social and economic activities. In order to meet the shortfall, attempts to utilize rainwater harvesting (RWH) have been made to provide an alternative source of water supply. A desk study was conducted to review various RWH technologies locally, regionally and globally. A hydrological analysis was also carried out using rainfall data for 30 years from two meteorological stations, with the aim of providing a more sustainable RWH system for water supply to private individuals, organizations, and government agencies. RWH is found to be technically feasible based on the prevailing rainfall pattern with over 90% of households having a rooftop constructed from technically appropriate materials. Results of the study indicate that an average roof of $80m^2$ will collect 82,835 L/yr (45 L/person/day) for a family of five people which is about the required water demand for drinking and cooking purposes. Hence, the capacity of storage tanks and the catchment area required for an all-purpose water supply system based on RWH are quite large. These can be reduced to affordable sizes, by collecting and storing water for cooking and drinking only while non-potable uses are supplemented by water from other sources. However, it must be highlighted that due to the type of roofing material, rainwater should go through proper treatment in order to be used for potable purposes. This study clearly shows that Ibadan city has a good rainwater harvesting potential.

The objectives of this study were to install RCR systems at a typical single family house and a school in Alabama, and evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of using the RCR systems for water harvesting in Alabama. The RCR systemswere equipped with a control system and a CR10X data logger to monitor the system operation and to collect data on precipitation, temperature, overflow, water depth in the storage tank and daily uses of toilet flushing. Daily average water use of the home for toilet flushing was 95 liter and 2100 liter was used at the school during the school days. Rainwater harvesting efficiency was 83.3 and 89 percent and RCR use efficiency was 18 and 98 percent from the home and the school, respectively. A computer program was developed to estimate potential effectiveness of RCR systems. From the analysis result with 10 years rainfall data, a total of 67,000 liters of rainwater could be harvested for domestic uses from a typical single family house which supplies 190 liters per day.

A newly developed rainwater harvesting (RWH) system reliability model is evaluated for roof area of buildings in Haeundae District of Busan. RWH system is used to supply water for toilet flushing, back garden irrigation, and air cooling. This model is portable because it is based on a non-parametric precipitation generation algorithm using a markov chain. Precipitation occurrence is simulated using transition probabilities derived for each day of the year based on the historical probability of wet and dry day state changes. Precipitation amounts are selected from a matrix of historical values within a moving 30 day window that is centered on the target day. Then, the reliability of RWH system is determined for catchment area and tank volume ranges using synthetic precipitation data. As a result, the synthetic rainfall data well reproduced the characteristics of precipitation in Busan. Also the reliabilities of RWH system for each of demands were computed to high values. Furthermore, for study area using the RWH system, reduction efficiencies for rooftop runoff inputs to the sewer system and potable water demand are evaluated for 23%, 53%, respectively.

불투수면의 증가와 도시화 현상은 지하수량의 감소, 지표수의 고갈, 홍수의 증가 등과 같은 자연적인 물순환 시스템에 변화를 가져왔다. 또한, 인간이 사용할 수 있는 수량의 감소 또한 초래하게 되었다. 이에 빗물의 적절한 처리와 재활용은 최근 발생되는 수문학적 문제의 해결에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 예상되어왔다. 따라서 본 연구는 지붕빗물유출수를 침투 및 저류 기작으로 처리하여 자연적인 물순환의 회복을 이루고자 침투화분 기술을 개발하였다. 연구결과, 침투화분 기술은 평균 79% 정도의 강우유출유량 저감효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 유출유량 지연효과 및 첨두유량 지연효과도 발생하였는데, 약 3시간의 유출지연효과와 38%의 유량 저감효과가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 침투화분의 오염물질 처리효율은 TSS 97%, BOD 및 CODcr 94%, TN 86%, TP 96%, Total Cu, Total Zn, Total Pb의 중금속은 약 93% 처리되었으며, 처리수의 오염물질 농도는 TSS 13.3mg/L, BOD 3.6mg/L, TN 4.7mg/L 및 TP 0.1mg/L로 분석되어 도시재이용수, 조경용수, 공업용수로서 사용이 가능할 것으로 분석되었다.

도시개발의 지나친 진행에 따라 불투수면의 증가로 인해 유출이 증가되어 도시 홍수에 대한 우려가 증가되고 있으며, 도시 유역의 물순환을 개발 이전과 같은 상태로 되돌리고자 하는 노력이 지속되고 있다. 이를 위한 노력으로 저영향 개발(Low Impact Development, LID) 기술이 저류, 침투, 증발산과 같은 기작을 통해 도시개발 전후의 수문 현상을 모사하기 위해 주목받기 시작했으며, LID를 실제 유역에 도입할 수 있는 기법에 대한 연구가 국·내외에서 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 도시 소유역에 강우-유출 수문모형인 SWMM의 모의를 통해 LID를 적용하여 목표로 유출량 저감 효과를 시나리오 별로 분석 및 평가하였다. SWMM-LID 모형을 가산1빗물펌프장 유역을 대상으로 구축하였으며 옥상녹화와 투수성 블록 포장 기법을 기법별 정성평가를 통해 유역에 적용할 LID 기법으로 선정하였다. SWMM내에서 저류 및 침투를 통한 총 유출량 감소 효과를 위해 설정되어야 하는 각 인자들을 설계 하였으며, 6가지 시나리오를 선정하여 모의한 결과, 투수성 포장에 의한 저감 효과가 옥상녹화에 의한 저감 효과보다 더 크게 나타났다. 향후 유역의 특성에 맞는 LID 시설의 설계가 필요하며, 특히 서로 영향을 미치는 하천이나 지하수위 등 도시 수자원 요소들은 전체 시스템에서 고려할 수 있도록 고려되어야 한다.
