RainClove — Smart rainwater planning for your property Plan rainwater harvesting for homes, villas, and commercial sites in minutes. RainClove turns your plot location and building details into clear numbers you can discuss with your family, builder, or engineer. How it works Pin your property on the map (or use your current location) Enter plot size and roof/covered area (or built-up percentage) Choose property type — residential, commercial, industrial, or housing society Get results — annual harvest, recommended storage tank, recharge pits, and an indicative cost range Rainfall at your location is estimated from historical weather data (30-year average), so results reflect local climate — not generic guesses. What you get • Annual harvest estimate (liters per year) with a transparent formula • Recommended tank size matched to standard capacities • Recharge pit guidance based on harvest and plot size • Indicative cost range for planning conversations • Compliance & guidance notes for your property type • PDF report — save or share your assessment • Assessment history — revisit past projects when signed in • Harvest Assistant — ask technical questions about tanks, pits, and local guidance (powered by your project context and knowledge base) • Policy alerts — stay aware of developments such as mandatory rainwater harvesting for new constructions in Islamabad (CDA) Built for property owners and planners Whether you are building a new house, upgrading an existing roof, or checking what a 5 or 10 marla plot could harvest, RainClove helps you start with real numbers before you invest in tanks, pits, or civil works. Important disclaimer RainClove provides preliminary, indicative estimates only. It is not a substitute for site survey, structural design, soil testing, or approval by a qualified engineer and your local development authority (e.g. CDA, LDA, or other municipal bodies). Always confirm current bylaws, mandatory requirements, and final designs on site before construction.
