Commercial Rainwater Harvesting & Stormwater Sizer

Institutional civil hydrology and stormwater economics model. Sizes commercial roof rainwater harvesting catchment runoff, calculates Rational Method peak storm flows (CFS), dimensions modular underground detention cisterns, models cooling tower make-up water displacement, evaluates municipal stormwater utility fee credits (30%–80%), and projects 20-year net present value (NPV).
