    Let's say for example that you are three persons living in a two-bedroom terraced house in Birmingham with a 55 square metre roof area (the average for two-bed terrace houses). As one cubic metre is 1,000 litres, you can expect to harvest 37,455 litres of rainwater per year.

    Using Google search, I also found the following -

    A surprisingly small roof area will give a lot of rainwater: a typical terraced house with a 6 by 8 metres roof area could give 30,000 litres a year depending on the area of the country you live in.
