Traditionally, rainwater harvesting usually conjures up a primitive image of an old farm cistern or thoughts of developing countries. The reality is that many other countries are adopting this method as it is proving to be a viable method in supplying water (Maxwell-Gaines, 2020). As stated by HDB (n.d), rainwater harvesting will be introduced as an alternative to boost water resource efficiency in public housing. In my opinion, even though rainwater har...
