    This document presents monthly rainfall data from 2006-2015 and calculates the volume of rainwater collected and demand for a catchment area of 2170.215 m2. It finds that the maximum deficit in water volume is 12.51 m3 in November. Therefore, the recommended size of a water storage tank is 13 m3, which can meet the monthly demand of 12.6 m3 and account for periods with rainfall deficits. A figure compares the monthly available water collected to the demand, showing surpluses in some months and deficits in others like November.
