traditional technique is a very old practice using by village architects in construction of rainwater strucutures for drinking water in particularly desert part of india. local archites have knowledge of size of strucutre, ventilation for aeration, available local material for construction of strucuture and porper connection of rooftop to harvest rainwater. the rainwater stays potable for long time.
RWH applicability to Vietnam
By Rick McGowan of East Meets West Foundation Posted over 5 years ago
It looks like a good project to me. Can you identify for me the percentage of total water needs met over the course of the year by harvested water? What is the daily liters per day usage per capita? How is the water taken out of the underground storage? How applicable is this in densly poplulated areas?
By my seat-of-the-pants calculation, if a family of five uses 50 lpd for 250 liters total, then the family needs over 91,000 liters per year. That's a lot of storage! Is it delivered by kinetic energy storage or via pumping? What kinds of containers are used? Sorry for all the questions; I'm really intrigued and want to know more.

Please describe the undergradound storage tanks and how they are cleaned or maintained. Is the water chlorinated or otherwise treated? Is it tested?
Alternatives to RWH
By Rob Bell of El Porvenir Posted over 5 years ago
Why is it not possible to build a year-round water system (well, hand-dug or drilled) in this region? For how many months of the year does RWH provide water to the people?
