Abstract

Rain water cistern systems can serve multiobjectives. Although they are traditionally used for domestic water supply, however they have been used for other purposes. From an economic view point, if a rain water cistern system (RWCS) can serve multiobjective uses, it could afford a higher initial and operation/maintenance costs. Therefore, planners of rain water cistern systems should seek multiobjective uses to enhance the feasibility of their applicability. Examples of :cain water cister systems multiobjective uses are presented in this paper, Readers are encouraged to report their experience related to this subject.
