Rainwater Harvesting Studies Across The World and Türkye

recent years, and with the Planned Zoning Regulation, which came into effect in
2021, the use of water collected from roof surfaces became compulsory. However,
these systems have not become fully prevalent and adopted yet.
Due to being in the arid and semi-arid climate zone, Türkiye is among
countries that have a risk of facing water scarcity. When the population
increase is taken into consideration, the use of rainwater for domestic and
urban purposes will become inevitable. Conducting feasibility studies for
the future based on the needs analysis of rainwater harvesting systems will
alleviate supply in water consumption and make significant contributions to
the water budget.
