This review paper examines stormwater harvesting (SWH) as a solution to address urban water management challenges caused by urbanization, climate change, and population growth. Despite the potential benefits of SWH in areas, barriers related planning, technological, societal aspects have limited its widespread adoption. To these move forward, this presents scoping literature on SWH, identifying key drivers for studying exploring various factors influencing implementation, including planning considerations, technical non-technical aspects, benefit risk assessments. These are categorized into three phases: pre-implementation, post-implementation. The study findings demonstrate critical importance considering multidisciplinary approach designing implementing systems, such regulations, decision-making tools, sustainable technology, end-use, social economic impacts. While there is diverse motivation focus has predominantly been technology development testing, with attention given socio-economic analysis practices. Similarly, although wealth system design optimization, lack research post-implementation monitoring, analysis. However, highlights substantial field, which can contribute wider adoption practices more future. proposed comprehensive roadmap valuable tool guiding future efforts practical implementation ensuring thorough understanding entire before embarking new projects.
