Driving rain in Kuala Lumpur office building.MP4

Driving rain filmed at the Syed Kechik Building, 8th floor, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Despite the 1.2 meter wide overhang, driving rain still splashes violently against the windows at the wind-ward direction. The window around the corner is seen to receive less rain.

Interestingly, driving rain amounts to 50% of the normal rain fall in Kuala Lumpur. Hence, rainwater harvesting off the facade of buildings - particularly highrises - can contribute significantly to quantity of rainwater harvested annually. In fact, for highrise buildings the bulk of harvested rainwater can come from driving rain.
