THE HARVESTED RAINWATER AS A SOURCE OF NON-DRINKING WATER SUPPLY IN TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL MICRODISTRICTS OF UKRAINIAN CITIES
Ukraine, facing water resource scarcity, finds it increasingly challenging to provide high-quality drinking water for both its population and industries, particularly in times of war. Harvested rainwater, among these sources, aligns well with water resource protection and management measures to counteract drinking water shortages. A literature review indicates that domestic needs in cities (flushing toilets, cleaning, and laundry) account for over 50% of drinking water demand, which could be supplemented by harvested rainwater.
