DEPARTMENT OF IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE (DID) HEAD-QUARTERS COMPLEX

Roof as catchments area

Storage tank

Underground storage tank

DID HEAD-QUARTERS COMPLEX

Consists of a block of 4-storied which is the standard office building with flat roof Downpipe

Roof of this building is attached via central gutter (size of 600 mm in depth) 60% of the water collected will flow into central gutter

Rainwater flow into two of 150 mm rainwater downpipe. Collected water will discharge to the perimeter drain at ground level

Roof as catchments area

The system uses a header tank on the roof of the building

(Say 3 days water storage):

1,688.85 m2 (calculated) 250 (est.) 25 liters/day. 250 x 25 = 6,250 liters/day.

6,250 x 3 = 18,750 lit 6.3 litres/m2/day(est.)
