This research describes experimental studies on the collected data in order to identify the potential site for rainwater harvesting in Kuantan. The collected data be used for research and planning the activities. The rainfall data are collected from Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran, JPS is used to analysis and calculate the average monthly rainfall for 14 Rainfall Hydrology Station in Kuantan with 7 years duration to get the highest value of rainfall. The Hydrology Station with Station that had highest total rainfall after the analysis are be choose refer to the Hydrology Station in MSMA2. The function of the Hydrology Station is to calculate the Rainfall Intensity of the location with the highest total value of rainfall. Location with highest total rainfall value can be potential to be rainwater harvesting site because it will give a good benefit which is the function of rainwater harvesting its self can help and give various good functions for example, collect, storage and reuse the rainfall for daily life. On the other hand it can help to avoid or reduce flood phenomena at each place that tend to get high total rainfall for every year. Therefore, from the rainfall data analysis, Station Hydrology 3930012 at Sungai Lembing PCCL MILL were choose as the potential area for Rainwater Harvesting this is because Sungai Lembing PCCl MILL has the highest total rainfall compare to the other thirteen Hydrology Station with total rainfall value of 7 years duration 20790.0mm/day.
