Demonstration engineering and benefit analysis of rainwater harvesting for utilization in urban areas of Beijing
Five different approaches to harvest rainwater were installed in six urban developments in Beijing, totalling an area of 60 ha in context with a Chinese-German demonstration project. The techniques applied included storm runoff storage and treatment, discharge control, infiltration, water saving and recycling facilities. In some facilities processes and effects were monitored under real conditions. Economic, environmental and social benefits were analyzed. The social benefit was found to be much higher than short term economic benefits of investors or owners. To further promote such sustainable techniques government should regulate and stimulate investors and owners even more than it is done already to install rainwater harvesting and utilization techniques.
