RESUMO:

As a result of the continuous climate change in many environmental system, rainwater harvesting system(RWHS) has received notable attention as an alternative way of decrease water vulnerability. In general, the design and performance of a RWHS is determined by using historical rainfall data without the impacts of climate change on rainfall. The objective is to investigate the effects of climate change in a domestic rainwater harvesting system based on different combinations of roof-surface, rainwater-tank sizes and water demands located in the northeast Brazil. The water balance in the tank will be simulated applying yield-after-spillage criteria starting from series synthetics of flow rate considering variations on the parameters of mean and variance of the daily  series of precipitation. The findings show that RWHS less comfortable will be more impacted in its performance. Cisterns located in the semiarid are more vulnerable to climate change. It is expected that the findings help water authorities and policy makers to select appropriate rainwater tank size in the context of climate change.
