Assessment of rainwater harvesting potential for urban area under climate and land use changes using geo-informatics technology

Globally climate and land use change have put stress on the natural water resources which are depleting rapidly. This study's goal is to explore the rainwater harvesting (RWH) potential for Lahore city. Average annual rainfall records were used along with future projections of precipitation by...
