Pumped storage hydroelectricity (PSH), or PHES, is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used as a means for load balancing. This approach stores energy in the form of the gravitational potential energy of water pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation (Al-hadhrami & Alam, 2015).When the water stored at height is released, energy is …
Regional water scarcity has given rise to the search for sustainable means of water supply. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) has been receiving unprecedented attention as low-cost and eco-friendly option. Given the conflicting nature of research findings with respect to the feasibility of RWH and the belief that such results have sometimes been unreasonably …
