be determined. The general priorities of water sources are discussed in § 3.3.1. The dataacquiring<br />

table is set up in Appendix 1.2.<br />

Step 4. Based on water usage and water sources, the planning principles are set up, e.g.,<br />

with single or dual water supply system, with combined or separate sewerage system, with or<br />

without rainwater utilisation, with or without water reuse, in which manners to reuse water,<br />

etc. The principles guide the calculation and comparison of WIS in the next stage.<br />

Regarding the water sources, besides the actual data, there are four additional calculations,<br />

i.e. surface runoff utilisation, roof-water utilisation, indirect potable reuse, and direct<br />

non-potable reuse. The calculation methods are introduced as follows.<br />

Calculation: surface runoff utilisation. The amount of surface runoff that is converted to<br />

the local water source can be calculated with the simple method:<br />

Q<br />

( c ⋅ P ⋅ A ⋅ μ)<br />

srfc.runoff<br />

= srfc.<br />

runoff ann.<br />

srfc.<br />

where: Qsrfc.runoff – daily usable rainwater, m 3 /d<br />

csrfc.runoff – average coefficient of surface runoff collection, -<br />

Pann. – annual precipitation, m<br />

Asrfc. – ground catchment area, m 2<br />

μ – percentage of surface runoff used for groundwater recharge, -<br />

Calculation: roof-water utilisation. Eq. (2) is the general method to calculate the daily<br />

availability of roof-water. The rainfall may distribute unevenly over months, so the storage<br />

tanks are essential to compensate it. As the good reference, German standard of DIN 1989<br />

(2002) provides the detailed methods to calculate and install the appropriate rainwater tanks.<br />

crf.wa. – coefficient of roof-water collection, -<br />

Aroof – projected usable roof area, m 2<br />

η – effectiveness of filter, 0,9 ~ 0,95<br />

( Fraunhofer<br />

Calculation: indirect potable reuse. All collected used water can be treated to the suitable<br />

quality and supplement to local water sources. It can be simply calculated as:<br />

Q = c ⋅ Q<br />

indrct.reu.<br />

used . wa.<br />

used . wa.<br />

where: Qindrct.reu. – water amount of indirect potable reuse, m 3 /d<br />

cused.wa. – coefficient of used water reclamation, -<br />

Qused.wa. – collected used water amount, m 3 /d<br />
