Designing Climate Resilient Rainwater Harvesting Systems.
There are many published books on rainwater harvesting, however the authors have presented a unique and different approach to the topic by addressing the scientific, engineering, technological, ethnographic and social importance of rainwater harvesting.
The Worth of Water is published by Springer Nature Switzerland.
The book can be purchased here.
Innovations in Water Management.
This book aims to define the concept of Nature Based Solutions (NBS) by using case studies from members of the European Innovation Partnership (EIP) Water Action Group- NatureWat. NBS is defined and characterized in terms of water source, contaminants, removal mechanisms and resource recovery potential.
A Technology Portfolio of Nature Based Solutions is published by Springer Nature Switzerland and can be purchased here.
Designing for community resilience.
“Where There Is No Engineer – Designing for Community Resilience” is a design initiative coordinated by the Development Technology in the Community (DTC) Research Group and Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Ireland.

Papers
Given the increasing incidence of serious flooding in Europe in recent years it might seem odd to be addressing the problem of water conservation. Download Paper
The benefits of water efficiency measures, rainwater harvesting and greywater reuse are principally water savings and reduced volume of consumption. Download Paper
The traditional approach to meeting increased demand is to augment supply. However, mobilising new resources involves ever higher costs. Download Paper
The concept of a reed willow bed combination has the potential to achieve a zero discharge wastewater treatment system. Download Paper
Members of DTC Research Group. Dublin Institute of Technology was commissioned in 2005 by the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government in Ireland to assess the feasibility of utilising rainwater to replace treated mains water for nonpotable uses. Download Paper
