Building upon previously published life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies, we
conducted an LCA of a commercial rainwater harvesting (RWH) system and compared it to a …

There is a common perception that rainwater harvesting (RWH) is an environmentally
sustainable water supply option. This perception is not always precise for all arrangements …

Life cycle analyses (LCAs) show the main operational energy contribution for rainwater‐
harvesting (RWH) systems come from ultraviolet (UV) disinfection and pumping rainwater …

To further understanding of the environmental implications of rainwater harvesting and its
water savings potential relative to conventional US water delivery infrastructure, we present …

Abstract Goal, Scope and Background This paper discusses the merging of methodological
aspects of two known methods into a hybrid on an application basis. Water shortages are …

Harvested rainwater is an alternative water source for buildings, especially for non-potable
