Extreme rainfall events cause immense damage in cities where drainage networks are nonexistent or deficient and thus unable to transport rainwater. Infrastructure adaptations can reduce flooding and help the population avoid the associated negative conse...

Storage tanks from rainwater harvesting systems (RWHs) are designed to provide flow equalization between rainfall and water demand. The minimum storage capacity required to take into account the maximum variations of stored water volumes, i.e., the activ...
