Abstract
The use of RWHS not only protects natural water resources, brings financial benefits resulting from the lower consumption of tap water, but also by reducing the outflow of water from the catchment, it also has a positive effect on the functioning of sewerage systems. Taking the above into account, the research was conducted to determine the impact of RWHS application on the volume of rainwater outflow from the catchment and on the functioning of the sewage system. A real urban catchment was selected for the study, for which a hydrodynamic model was developed in the stormwater management Model (SWMM).
