ROOF CATCHMENT
The design approach for roof drainage is to
determine the layout and catchment area
Roof Coefficient (C) is different depend on the
material
Asbestos roof materials is not recommended
Lead materials in any form should not be used in
the system
ROOF COEFFICIENCY
Roof Coefficient (C) is different depend on the
material
It is impossible to collect every drop of rain
that falls.
Light rainfall will only wet the surface and
then evaporate
Heavy rainfall can overflow from the gutter
More water loss if roof is flat
Roof material absorbs some water
Evaporation losses

ROOF COEFFICIENCY
CONVEYANCE
Gutters are used to convey water from the roof to pipes to the
RWH tank
Gutter convey water through rain water down pipe (RWDP)
Rainwater may also collect from the surface via on site
detention system
Gutter and RWDP drawing refer to Architect detail

RWH TANK
Rainwater tanks may be provided to collect
rainwater from roof and gutter systems.
These tanks can be used to:
a) provide water for non potable uses
b) on-site detention storage
Tank material can be type of :-
HDPE
Poly Tank
Steel Tank
FRP
Reinforced Concrete

RWH FILTER
Rainwater filter improve the quality of the water by
removing all the sediment , dirt etc.
Can be separate from a tank sand filter
Can be installed underground external filter
Sand Filter will minimize the extent of dissolved chemicals from dust,
pollution and roofing material

PUMPS
Pumps needs to lift
rainwater from lower to
higher level & boosting
the pressure
Type of pump suitable for
various conditions of use
booster, submersible
etc
Pumps need to calculate
the flow rate and
pressure head required
Pump size and
specification shall refer to
mechanical drawing
