31 1. Introduction
RI
32 The human population has doubled from 3.9 billion to 7.0 billion over the last decades,
33 but the water demand has increased three-fold. According to Food and Agriculture
SC
34 Organization (2015), the world’s need for water is growing twice as fast as the population.
35 By 2025, about 1.8 billion people are expected to experience water scarcity, while two-thirds
36
U
of the population will experience water stress (United Nations, 2014). The rapid growths in
AN
37 population, urbanization, industrialization and irrigated agriculture have imposed growing
M
38 pressure on existing water resources. Water resources shortage has given a negative impact
39 on the development of a city and the basic lives of the residents, and it has become the main
D
40 factor obstructing the development of a society (Hashim et al., 2013). Thus, an alternative
TE
41 water resource is needed to address the water shortage issues because sustainable water
42 resources management can be a catalyst for socioeconomic development for the country
EP
45 deposition of rainwater for use instead of allowing it to runoff. RWH systems are able to
46 simultaneously address the water scarcity problem and reduce the dependence on domestic
47 water supply (Gois et al., 2014; Sample & Liu, 2014; Thomas et al., 2014; Unami et al., 2014;
48 Morales-Pinzon et al., 2015). In Malaysia, the government began to promote the use of RWH
49 system in 1999. With the recent increasing water shortage and rationing events, RWH has
50 started to gain its practical application. The present article probes the potential of RWH

72 Characterization
73 Being a developing nation, Malaysia cannot escape from water issues either. Malaysia
75 rich in water resources (Che-Ain et al., 2009). Malaysia is geographically located in between
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
76 two large oceans, i.e. the Pacific Ocean to the east and the Indian Ocean to the west.
77 Therefore, the Malaysian natural climate variability is strongly influenced by the Southeast
78 Asia Maritime monsoon. The surface climate is influenced by two monsoon regimes namely
79 the southwest monsoon (dry season) and the northeast monsoon (wet season). The southwest
80 monsoon is characterized with low level southwesterly winds, it starts in May and usually
PT
81 ends in August while the northeast monsoon is dominated by northeasterly winds that cross
RI
82 over the South China Sea, and it starts in November and usually ends in February of the
83 following year. Intermittently during this period, strong pulses of wind penetrate to the most
SC
84 southern region of the South China Sea and bring relatively high precipitation (Chang et al.,
85 2005).
86
U
Malaysia had never experienced any serious water crisis in the past few decades.
AN
87 However, rainfalls are unevenly distributed in Malaysia, leaving some areas to experience dry
M
88 spells while other areas have occurrences of floods. Especially in urban areas like Kuala
89 Lumpur, Selangor and Putrajaya are facing water shortage nowadays, despite having tropical
D
90 climate and rich water resources. This situation was exacerbated by the El Nino phenomenon
TE
91 which had caused a severe drought in 1997/98, giving a great impact to the country
92 particularly on the public water supply sector and residents. Malaysian climate is largely
EP
94 Dipole (IOD). These El Nino and La Nina phenomena have led to climate variability and
AC
95 extreme weather.
96 The dynamic climate event affects precipitation whereby it causes dynamic weather,
97 fluctuations in temperature and precipitation which could affect the yield of RWH (Tangang
98 et al., 2012). Kavvas et al. (2007) shows average annual precipitation for Malaysia in Figure
99 1 and the associated regions are shown in Figure 2. A decrease in average annual
100 precipitation (mm) is projected in high population urban areas namely Klang, Johor, Selangor,
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
101 West Coast and Southern Peninsular of Malaysia. An increase in average annual precipitation
102 (mm) is projected in areas namely Kelantan, Northeast Coast, Pahang, Perak, Kedah and
103 Terengganu (Cain, 2014). Therefore, the potential of RWH has to be studied by considering
104 precipitation projection and impacts of climate change on precipitation before the RWH
PT
106 In May 2014, the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) of
RI
107 Malaysia advised the nation to be prepared for El Nino phenomenon and drought during the
108 southwest monsoon from May to September 2014. RWH hence emerged as an alternative to
SC
109 prepare for drought (Lee, 2014). By harvesting rainwater, it is able to prevent water resource
110 from runoff into drainage system. At the same time, RWH is able to reduce the water
111
U
footprint through reducing dependence on domestic water supply from dam and reservoir
AN
112 (Vialle et al., 2015). However, the increasing water demand needs a systematic support to
M
113 local innovations on RWH to provide an alternative water supply and reduce the domestic

TE
117 Table 1 shows the list of policies and guidelines concerning RWH in Malaysia based
EP
118 on chronological order after the historical analysis. In 1999, the “Guidelines for Installing a
C
119 Rainwater Collection and Utilization System” was first introduced by the Ministry of
AC
120 Housing and Local Government (KPKT) after 1998 drought event. It was the initial phase of
121 RWH policy in Malaysia. It aimed to reduce the dependence on treated water and provide a
122 convenient buffer in times of shortfall in water supply. The guidelines proposed the
123 construction of rainwater collecting tanks in urban area instead of continuing to build giant
124 dams upstream and it served as a reference for those who want to install a rainwater
125 collection and utilization system (Che-Ain et al., 2009). However, the implementation of the
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
126 first RWH policy was not really successful back then. This was because RWH was still very
127 alien to Malaysian, it generally did not deal with cost and implementation issues and most of
128 the systems were not available locally (Mohd.-Shawahid et al., 2007).
129 In 2004, one cabinet paper was prepared by the KPKT and submitted to the National
130 Water Resources Council to encourage government buildings to install a rainwater collection
PT
131 and utilization system. The council encouraged installing rainwater collection and utilization
RI
132 but it was not mandatory. Two government agencies, namely the Department of Irrigation
133 and Drainage (DID) and the Ministry of Energy, Water and Communication (KTAK), were
SC
134 the pioneers in implementing RWH system in their buildings. However, the acceptance of
135 RWH system was also not satisfactory in the beginning stage whereby it was only introduced
136
U
in a few new housing development projects (Mohd.-Shawahid et al., 2007). National
AN
137 Hydraulic Research Institute of Malaysia (NAHRIM), which is under the purview of the
M
138 Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (NRE), has been actively involving in
139 researching, designing and installation of RWH systems for government buildings, mosques,
D
140 residential houses and schools. And, NAHRIM has now become the key driver for RWH in
TE
141 Malaysia. The RWH project carried out by NAHRIM on double storey terrace house at
142 Taman Wangsa Melawati, Kuala Lumpur showed that RWH is able to save up to 34% of the

144 In 2005, The Federal Constitution transferred all matters related to water supply
AC
145 service from State List to Concurrent List to enable the Federal Government involve in the
146 water service sector. On top of that, the KTAK introduced two new water related laws,
147 namely Water Services Industry Act 2006 and Water Services Commission Act 2006. Under
148 the new acts, the Ministry is encouraging RWH system implementation. On March 27, 2006,
149 the Prime Minister announced that RWH would be made mandatory to large buildings
150 (Mohd.-Shawahid et al., 2007). Since then, new sets of guideline were introduced.

151 “Rainwater Harvesting: Guidebook on Planning and Design” was introduced by DID in 2009,
153 Malaysia” by NAHRIM in 2011 and “Urban Stormwater Management Manual for Malaysia
155 In 2011, the Malaysian government imposed residential building (bungalow and semi-
PT
156 detached) and all types of building with roof area equal or more than 100 m2 in all states of
RI
157 Peninsular Malaysia and the Federal Territories to install RWH system through the
158 amendment of the Uniform Building By-Laws 1984, which was approved by the National
SC
159 Council of Local Government. In 2013, the “Guidelines for Installing a Rainwater Collection
160 and Utilization System 1999” was revised and published by the Ministry of Urban Wellbeing,
161
U
Housing and Local Government (formally Ministry of Housing and Local Government)
AN
162 whereby local governments required all developments must comply with the condition to
M
163 install RWH system within their development before the Development Order or Certificate of
164 Completion and Compliance is issued. The revised guidelines also require licensed plumbers
D
165 who are registered with National Water Services Commission (SPAN) to perform installation
TE
166 of RWH system. However, the Research, Development and Innovation Division of SPAN
167 does not approve any specific materials and equipments of RWH system as raw water
EP
168 (untreated rainwater) is not under the purview of SPAN, although the revised guidelines
C
169 states that the use of material in the RWH system shall comply and be approved by the
AC
170 Standards and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM) and SPAN. For the
171 integrated system of RWH and public water supply, SPAN has regulated the RWH
172 installation and connection in any building category. Backflow preventers or similar
173 equipment shall be installed at the RWH system to prevent untreated rainwater to flow
174 reversely or being back-siphoning to the public water supply system. It is also prevent

175 possible contamination caused by untreated rainwater to the public water supply plumbing
177 Currently, the detailed installation of RWH system is very much relying on the
178 supplier’s specification though the RWH system shall in general be designed according to
179 good plumbing design practices to conform to existing building by-laws and regulations.

190 5. Challenges
191 Five interconnected challenges have been generally identified based on our analysis,
EP
192 namely environmental, policy, economic, social and technical aspects. These challenges need
C
193 to be addressed in the planning, funding, construction, operation and maintenance, in order to
AC
195 • Environment: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment
196 (IPCC, 2013) reported that it is virtually certain that there will be warmer and fewer cold
197 days and nights over most land in the 21st century. Anthropogenic warming is very likely
198 to increase the area affected by droughts. Peninsular Malaysia is projected to have lower
199 average precipitation during December through February, which used to be relatively
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
200 high in precipitation. Drastic decrease in minimum monthly precipitation (32 – 61 %)
201 especially during the dry season from May to August associated with climate change in
202 certain regions, could cause the RWH system ineffective if precipitation falls below a
203 minimum threshold or not sufficient to hold a reliable supply (Che-Ain et al., 2009;
204 Shaaban, 2009). Therefore, the changes in rainfall pattern due to climate change need to
PT
205 be taken into account for designing RWH system.
RI
206 Policy: Despite several guidelines have been launched by the Malaysian government
207 since 1999, RWH is yet to gain much public popularity. The most encouraging
SC
208 development was introduced by the government to make RWH mandatory in March 27,
209 2006. However, this policy is only applied to large buildings like factories, schools or
210
U
bungalows. It is certainly a right step to make it mandatory despite the fact that there is
AN
211 still lack of robust policy to promote the installation of RWH in Malaysia (Mohd.-
M
213 • Economics: The average water tariff of Malaysia is 0.39 USD/m3. Comparing to that of
D
214 Indonesia (0.77 USD/m3) and Singapore (1.88 USD/m3), water tariff in Malaysia is
TE
215 deemed as one of the lowest in the region. However, the cost of installing a RWH system
216 in Malaysia is estimated between USD 400 to USD 3000. The payback time could take
EP
217 years and such a cost-benefit trade-off makes it uneconomical to install RWH system in
C
218 view of its low return of investment. The scaling-down of RWH system to a smaller unit
AC
219 could make the installation cost cheaper and hence make the RWH economical. In
220 addition, the lack of incentives also makes Malaysian slow in accepting RWH system. As
221 practised in Japan and elsewhere the government may need to provide subsidies to
223 • Social: Average urban water use in Malaysia is 344 liter/capital/day which is much higher
224 than 165 liter/capital/day that recommended by the United Nations. Due to the “paradox
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
225 of plenty”, Malaysian public tends to have a perception that there is abundance of water
226 resources in the country and RWH system is a “nice to have” facility within a building
227 and it might not be needed (Che-Ain et al., 2009). Such a public perception has given the
228 impression that it is unnecessary to harvest rainwater as their alternative water resource.
229 Nevertheless, RWH is self sufficiency and able to reduce the dependence on domestic
PT
230 water supply by developing an appreciation for water resources among the residents in
RI
231 the urban area.
232 • Technical: According to Hashim et al. (2013), 58% of water supply can be provided by
SC
233 RWH and 41% must be supplied by the water utility. The optimization of the RWH
234 system design is crucial to meet the supply and demand network at optimal reliability.
235
U
There are many technical parameters to be taken into account for RWH, namely rainfall
AN
236 characteristics, catchment area (roof area), cistern storage size, rainwater demand (for
M
237 non-potable purposes) and overall water use pattern. RWH system could be ineffective if
238 other technical parameters such as first flush volume and losses on the roof through
D
239 evaporation and splashing have been overlooked. Therefore, innovative technical solution
TE
241
EP
243 Dynamic and extreme weather due to the climate change are expected to leave a great
AC
244 impact on the environment, particularly the water resources. There is a general human
245 response to adapt and mitigate the sufferings of water shortage associated with such climate
246 extremes (Kavvas et al., 2007). Human may resort to modify dwelling environment by
247 adapting new strategies to optimize the utility of available or alternative water resources. A
249 mitigation are crucial to progress towards sustainable development. Efforts to develop
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
250 sustainable water resource in Malaysia have to be guided by a robust and holistic national
251 policy (Pandey et al., 2003). Therefore, RWH development has to be mainstreamed,
252 institutionalized and up-scaled through the national water and climate change policy; and
253 through enacting legislations and supporting with detailed guidelines, the development of
254 RWH system will be authoritative and organized. It has also been noted that the cost of
PT
255 installation, maintenance and usage of RWH is much higher than that of domestic water
RI
256 supply. To promote RWH system as an alternative for the water supply, a comparison of the
257 cost of RWH with domestic water supply has to be done. The government has to provide
SC
258 subsidies and rebates to encourage the public to install RWH system as done in other
259 countries like Japan, Germany and Australia. The Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and
260
U
Water (KeTTHA), the Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government
AN
261 (KPKT), the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (NRE) in association with mass
M
262 media have to conduct education and awareness campaigns to increase the popularity of
263 RWH to the public. In addition, the Ministry of Education (MOE) should also incorporate
D
264 RWH into school education curriculum in both primary and secondary schools to ensure our
TE
265 younger generation is educated to conserving water resources for a better life (Mohd.-
266 Shawahid et al., 2007). RWH perhaps would not be the most adequate solution in the short-
EP
267 term for alternative water resource, but the reduction of water consumption would be possible.
C
268 Therefore, innovative technical solutions are needed to be adopted to retrofit RWH into the
AC
269 new and existing buildings to make RWH an integrated part of the water supply system.
270 Other alternative water resources for example, air conditioning and cooling tower water can
271 also be recycled and reused by integrating into RWH system to reduce water consumption
273
274 7. Conclusions
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
275 The rapid growths in population, urbanization, industrialization and irrigated
276 agriculture have imposed growing pressure on the existing water resources. The public
277 should therefore adopt the concept of sustainability in conserving water resources because
278 water resources have shrunken further with the rising threats of dynamic climate and extreme
279 weather. In response to climate extremes, RWH has emerged as one of the measures to
PT
280 enhance the resilience of human society towards water shortage problem. A case study has
RI
281 been conducted in Malaysia whereby several government agencies have introduced and
282 implemented several guidelines and initiatives with regard to RWH. However, RWH has yet
SC
283 to be mainstreamed into the national water and climate change policy as an adaptation
284 strategy to climate change, especially in urban areas where water resources are fast depleting
285
U
due to rapid increase in population and water consumption. We suggest that inter-ministerial
AN
286 and multi-stakeholders co-operations are needed to promote the development of RWH in the
