Influence of Catchment Surface Material on Quality of Harvested Rainwater

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This idea of the study is interesting. Another usage of the harvested rainwater that the authors may consider adding to their recommendations is establishing Aquaculture/ Aquaponic system purposes. The authors tend to use very long continuous sentences throughout the manuscript. Please consider dividing some of them into 2 sentences. Please see additional minor edits in the attached file.

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Thank you for having the opportunity to review this manuscript.

The manuscript focuses on studying the quality of rainwater for different uses, both recreational human and agricultural. Its introduction shows the importance of using rainwater given current conditions.

I would recommend including the Wilcox index because the figures discussed allow us to reinforce the results described. In addition to obtaining corrosion and scale indices, it would be advisable to base them on the pH of rainwater and be able to expand the use of said water.

The conclusions can be improved since the current ones summarize the results. However, the authors present sufficient material to draw concrete conclusions about the project's objective.

Reviewer 3 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems are very useful in arid areas, and this study is very interesting. The experimental design is complete, but the key discussion section is missing, so it is recommended to discuss the results.
