Considerations for full-property water security. Demand planning and conservation strategies. Supply calculations and design implications for extreme rainfall and drought. Materials selection and water quality. System and site assessment. Sizing and design of gutters, conveyance, tanks, and pumps. Pre-filtration, filtration, and disinfection options. System maintenance and upkeep.
