Background of the Study
Rainwater harvesting, the collection and storage of rainwater for later use, is a sustainable practice that has gained prominence in addressing water scarcity and reducing utility costs. In Nigeria’s real estate sector, this practice has the potential to provide cost-effective water solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial properties, while also promoting environmental sustainability.
With increasing urbanization and water supply challenges, rainwater harvesting offers a viable alternative to traditional water sources. Recent studies, such as those by Okonkwo and Ibrahim (2023), indicate that integrating rainwater harvesting systems into real estate developments can lower operational costs and enhance property value. Despite its potential, adoption remains limited due to inadequate policies, lack of awareness, and technical challenges.
This study explores the effect of rainwater harvesting on business operations in Nigeria’s real estate sector, focusing on its economic and environmental benefits as well as barriers to widespread adoption.
Statement of the Problem
Water scarcity and rising utility costs pose significant challenges to the real estate sector in Nigeria. Although rainwater harvesting presents a cost-effective and sustainable solution, its adoption in real estate developments remains low. Barriers such as limited technical knowledge, high initial investment costs, and the absence of supportive policies impede its integration.
This study investigates the impact of rainwater harvesting on business operations in the real estate sector, identifying its benefits and challenges to promote broader adoption.
