According to Agrill et al. (2017) The rapid urbanization and the constant
expansion of urban areas during the last decades have locally led to
the mains.
The demand for tools to enable technical and economic analysis of RWH
systems has led to a substantial body of research in the recent past. This
paper focuses on the economic aspects of domestic RWH in urban and peri-
urban environments. In this regard, key issues are identified and discussed
including quality and quantity of harvested water, the water demand profile,
the scale of installation, interest rates, the period of analysis, real estate
value, and the water-energy-food nexus. Kenya and Australia are used as

systems often had conflicting results. Most of the economic analyses have
ignored the full benefits that a RWH system can offer. In view of the varying
