Commonly used system are constructed of three components that is catchments area, collection device and conveyance system. Rainwater can be use as an alternative to solve water supply problems and can reduce the bills amount of water supply. The objective of this study is to determine urban runoff at study area and analysis the effectiveness of rainwater harvesting system at residential area in controlling urban surface runoff. The study area is a residential area located in the upstream part of Sungai Klang river basin called Taman Wangsa Melawati. The surface runoff must be controlled from upstream to avoid flood at downstream. National Hydraulic Research Institute of Malaysia (NAHRIM) does the research for one unit double storey house at this area. There are 242 units the double storey house in this area. The roof area for one unit double storey house is 60 m2• Two black High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) tanks with a 2500 liter (2.5 m3) capacity each were installed as a storage tanks. The data collection from this study is rainfall data (13 August 2007 - 1 October 2007) and water level data (11 August 2007 - 11 October 2007). From this study, percentage reduction of surface runoff is 24.37 % if 242 units double storey house at this area use the rainwater harvesting system. This study proves that rainwater harvesting system is an effective solution to controlling surface runoff in Taman Wangsa Melawati, Kuala Lumpur. -Author. specialized Ahmad Faisal bin Mohamad Project paper (Bachelor of Civil Engineering) -- Universiti Malaysia Pahang - 2007 Rain-water (Water-supply) Malaysia Runoff Environmental aspects THE0003105(Local) UMP 080626 20251114204346.0 vtls000029681
