TARGET 6.A
By 2030, expand international cooperation and capacity-
building support to developing countries in water- and
sanitation-related activities and programmes, including water
harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater
treatment, recycling and reuse technologies
3. RAINWATER HARVESTING IN
INDONESIA
Annual rainfall of about
2,000 - 3,500 mm in most
of the country
Only 2.4% households use
RWH as drinking water
source
Mostly in West Kalimantan
by 40.7% households
RWH FACTS
People think RWH would
not be reliable for whole
year supply
Rainwater quality is poorer
than other water sources
Installing RWH is expensive
Needs big space for
rainwater tank
BARRIERS FOR RWH
IMPLEMENTATION
4. OBJECTIVES
To identify the sustainability of RWH systems based on:
Building cost
Reliability to supply water for the whole year
Water quality.
7. METHODOLOGY
Built RWH systems --- funded by Deakin University and West Java
Province:
2 individual (household A and B)
1 communal (households C)
Recorded:
Building cost
Water consumption compared to minimum water requirement
standards
20 lpcpd for WHO basic access (Howard & Bartram, 2003)
50 lpcpd for fundamental human right (Gleick, 1996).
Water quality compared to Ministry of Health Standard:
Permenkes 492/2010 for drinking water standards
Permenkes 416/1990 for clean water standards.

18. CONCLUSION
RWH system performances are not worse than other water sources:
Water consumption for basic requirements for the whole year can be fulfilled with
monthly demand management.
Water quality was not too different from water distributed by PDAM or CBWS.
Water can be boiled for drinking.
Capital cost to build RWH system is expensive, that we suggest
government subsidy for building RWH system at household level.
The communal system is more expensive than the individual system,
but its per unit cost is lower, and it can provide more per capita
water.
