Abstract
Buildings are infrastructures that can be built in varying shapes and sizes starting from a single-story cubical to multistory high-rise tubular form. Harvested rainwater may be required to be distributed at various locations of a building in conjunction with the distribution system of water from other sources including independent ones. Like normal building water-supply system, a building rainwater-supply system can also be developed according to one of the two common methods: an underground-overhead tank system or a pressurized direct-pumping system. In designing the pumping and piping system, the same hydraulic principles are followed for both a normal and a rainwater-supply system. In this chapter, two methods of creating a water-supply system are discussed, and the design approaches for the elements used in the supply system are described. Finally some safety measures for preventing contamination of water in the supply system are discussed.
