The Waterpod will be collecting rainwater from a few of the impermeable roof areas. The calculations for collection are on this spreadsheet. There are three tabs feeding the results:

  • Tab:Collection Calcs - Calculates the monthly availability of the rainwater.
  • Tab:Collections Dimensions - Calculates the available rainwater collection area based upon the planned structures.
  • Tab:Regional Climate Data - Show monthly rainfall from historical averages. Could be made more current.

(in some cases the efficiency of the system is assumed to be 100% and therefore equal to 1, having no effect on the rest of the equation.)
