This studyproposes to provide some guidelines for economic rainwater harvesting for domesticconsumption in urban areas of Bangladesh. The guidelines have been formulated usingexisting data on rainwater harvesting systems. Based on these guidelines, a mathematicalmodel has been developed to figure out cistern sizes for collection of rainwater. Theproducts of this research are a) computer program for calculating domestic waterrequirements and sizing storage cisterns and b) an animation of the proposed rainwaterharvesting system. These can be used as teaching tools to demonstrate the constructionmethods of such a system and the benefits of the technique.Key words: Bangladesh
