From Wikiversity

There is opportunity, room and history for research on rainwater harvesting for both academic institutions and citizen-science forms of studies and activism.

The North Carolina Water Resources Research Institute compiles a list of studies on the effect of roof surfaces on the quality of rainwater in Rainwater Harvesting—A Comprehensive Review of Literature.
