Rainwater Harvesting Calculator

Estimate annual harvestable rainwater from roof area, rainfall and runoff coefficient.

Formula v1.0.0IndiaMethodologyrainwater-harvesting-v1
How this is calculated
Harvest (litres) = Roof area (sqm) × annual rainfall (mm) × runoff coefficient

About this calculator

The rainwater harvesting calculator multiplies roof catchment area by average annual rainfall and a runoff coefficient to estimate the total volume of water that could be harvested per year.

Worked example

1,500 sqft roof, 900mm annual rainfall, 0.85 runoff

Result: Annual harvest ≈ 1,06,650 litres
