The demand of potable water increases in accordance to the population. Rainwater harvesting is capable to combat water crisis and serves as an alternative water resources during water shortage. The present study proposed a rainwater harvesting system for the mosque and obtain the rainfall amount at study area. The method used for designing the rainwater harvesting system is referred to MSMA 2nd Edition. The system is consists of downpipe filter (4\"/ Ø150 mm), Eaves gutter (16, 000 mm²) first flush diverter 150 mm (63 liter; 1.78 length) and: taper tank (600 liters) . Rainfall data for study area was recorded by HOBO tipping rain gauge for four months. Rainwater was calculated and harvested 116.7% yield to the water demand for the study area. The rainfall for four months at the study area showed that the rainwater demand was sufficient to be collected and used for the mosque activities. The highest rainfall data collected was 75.2 mm. This study would help to initiate a starting point to create a green mosque concept into reality. Furthermore, this system applied the concept of green building that create environmental friendly surrounding as a stepping stone to educate and at the same time save the environment and minimize the energy wastage.  \nKeywords: Design of rainwater harvesting system, MSMA, Rainfall data  \nINTRODUCTION  \nThe rainwater is a precious gift for us by nature. Since the creation of the Earth, rain has helped nourish the growth of myriad of flora and fauna and has provided precious drinking water for all creatures. Rainwater harvesting is as old as mankind. About 4,000 years ago in Rome, the Romans have been used rainwater for domestic purposes. Roman villages and cities of that time planned to take advantage of rainwater for drinking [1]  \nClean water is a valuable and important source. Since clean water is important, it is seen as a waste for it to be used for flushing of toilets and watering plants. Rainwater is one of reliable source of clean water it can be used as a substitute by collecting and utilize it rather than let it go to waste. A part from that, by collecting rainwater from roof, flash flood affect can be reduced as few percentage of rainfall is retained and thus reduce the volume of surface runoff. Besides, by using rainwater as an alternative, clean water can be saved and used for other purposed and simultaneously decrease of demand of clean water resulted in lower cost of water bill and cost of operation in the water treatment plants. The use of untreated rainwater for non – potable uses that would otherwise be supplied by potable water ultimately conserves municipally supplied potable water [2] .  \nWater shortage is becoming the number one problem in the world today. Moreover, the problem of water scarcity is strongly connected to the  \nproblem of water quality. Urban development, human activities and industrialization deteriorate the quality of water and, in some cases, make it unsafe for consumption [3] . Some effort has been made toreuse ablution water from mosques (masjid) , which it has low contaminant and consist of high volum","cbCaiaSa74D7mYQQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaSa74D7mYQQ","pdf",541612,1,6,"English","en",105,"# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Background and rationale\n## Water shortage and quality challenges\n## Rainwater harvesting in mosque contexts\n## Study area and need for the system\n# Method (partial)","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the rainwater harvesting study address for the mosque?\",\"answer\":\"The study targets potable water dependency and water shortage concerns by proposing an alternative water resource collected from rainfall for mosque activities.\"},{\"question\":\"What components were included in the proposed harvesting system?\",\"answer\":\"The system consists of a downpipe filter, eaves gutter, a first-flush diverter, and a 600-liter taper tank.\"},{\"question\":\"How was rainfall data collected and what result was achieved?\",\"answer\":\"Rainfall for four months was recorded using a HOBO tipping rain gauge.
