“…Furthermore, above ground RWHS in Malaysia are mostly using high density polyethylene tank [8]. This is because the material is found to be more cost effective than stainless steel tank [9]. Previous study [9] addressed that bigger tank could add more cost to the installation of the system since it has higher price.…”

“…This is because the material is found to be more cost effective than stainless steel tank [9]. Previous study [9] addressed that bigger tank could add more cost to the installation of the system since it has higher price. Furthermore, the total installation cost of the whole system can be ranging between RM 20,000 and RM 350,000 [8].…”

Rainwater harvesting is a common practice of storing water in a container before it will be used for other purposes. On a domestic scale, homeowners with a rainwater harvesting system (RWHS) installed in their houses faced challenges to maintain and use the stored water. Therefore, this study aims to identify strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of conventional domestic small-scale RWHS. A comprehensive opinion of the conventional domestic RWHS is gathered through a series of semi-structured interview with homeowners in Batu Pahat district. The result indicates the afterthought design of RWHS leads to bigger problems such as difficult to maintain, unknown water quality, hazards for children, fixed and undesirable design. The authors conclude by presenting the results in the form of SWOT analysis and offering some recommendations to mitigate existing problems addressed in this study.
