As one efficient way to relieve the water scarcity problem for some area, the utilization of nontraditional water resources can both halt the ecological deterioration and exploit the new water resources. A case was analyzed in this paper, in which reclaimed water and rainwater are utilized simultaneously in a village of Beijing. It presents the approaches and results of using reclaimed and rainwater, and analyzes the water demand balance as well as states the distribution strategy under running condition. Water saving amount of using two nontraditional water resources could approach 277600m³/a. This kind of practice would have significance for other villages in which the tap water resources cannot meet the demand. Furthermore, it could be a demonstration for the utilization of reclaimed water and rainwater jointly.
