- Abstract
The increase in population resulted in an increased need for housing. Opening up land for housing development worsened runoff by reducing vegetation that covered the soil. The areas that underwent land clearing were at risk of experiencing a shortage of clean water supply for household needs during the dry season. The use of rainwater was employed as one of the efforts in conserving water resources. This research aimed to design a rainwater harvesting system for 36-square-meter houses in Palembang City as an alternative water supply solution. Data processing was carried out using rainfall data from the last 15 years (2008-2022) obtained from the Meteorological Station of Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II in Palembang City. A 36-square-meter house had a roof area of 53.12 square meters. The availability of rainwater was obtained at 132.59 liters per day and could meet the daily water needs of one person, based on the average family size. The use of the rainwater harvesting system could save water cost of Palembang Local Water Company (Regional Water Supply Company) by IDR 165,920.2 per year.
