Abstract

Malaysia receives rainfall throughout the year with no definite significant dry period. The average rainfall of Malaysia is greater than 2000 mm, which is more than enough for developing a feasible system. The country is therefore rich in water resources when compared to the other regions of the world. In this paper the assessment of the rainwater harvesting within the Multimedia University Campus, Malacca has been studied. A thorough effort was devoted to estimate the potential of rooftop rainwater harvesting, from the different buildings within the campus. Assessment of the rainfall profile in Malacca indicates that, the likely dry days may found through the different months in the years. Moreover, the increase in temperature within those particular days was found noticeable, which in turn affect the evaporation rate from the ground. Thus, more necessity for irrigating the plantation is required. The football field within the campus was selected as a case study. A harvesting model was established to simulate the viability of the system. Results indicate that a 5 m3 tank size achieve an average of 80% reliability to best serve the purpose of irrigation of the football field.
