Comparison of the conventional rainwater harvesting system and the systematically monitored RFD system
| Conventional rainwater harvesting system . | Systematically monitored RFD system . |
|---|---|
| The system is neglected after installation. | Systematic weekly and quarterly monitoring is performed. |
| The system is operated based on central precipitation data. | On-site manual precipitation data are obtained. |
| Water depletes due to overuse; users should wait for the next rainfall. | Water supply is constant through a water usage alarm system. |
| The water quality test is perfunctory. | Urgent issues can be resolved by regular monitoring. |
| Monitoring data are unreliable. | Open access to the monitoring data promotes managerial ownership of the system. |
