In addition to a more responsible use, an excellent way to save water is to collect and use rainwater. Its collection takes place through a collection system consisting of a filtering tank or a percolation chamber, built specifically for this purpose.
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himWater is a precious commodity even if for years it was considered of little value, perhaps because it was believed to come from an inexhaustible source. For decades there has been one reckless use without thinking about saving and the correct use of this resource. Only in the arid areas of the world has the scarcity of water pushed man to optimize their resources and their management. In recent years it seems that this mentality is slowly changing and more and more companies and people pay close attention to water consumption.
In addition to a more responsible use, an excellent system to promote water saving is that of collect and use rainwater. Its collection takes place through a collection system consisting of a filter tank or from one percolation chambere, built specifically for this purpose.
The collected rainwater can be used for irrigation, or for replenishment of groundwater in arid climates and semi-arid characterized by low rainfall.
But also in the urban centers this can be a good way to help the environment and maybe even to save a few euros in your bills. This is why architects and designers are indulging in the design of efficient recovery systems that are also beautiful to look at.
Let's see then you are fantastic rainwater collection systems.

Accumuwater Water Tower
Accumuwater water towers have been designed to provide fresh water in those areas where there is none. The project, conceived by Mojorno, is completely inspired by nature.
The tower-shaped tanks are capable of storing water in their hollow “bellies”. At night the structure lights up because it is painted with fluorescent substances.
The main plus ofAccumuwater Water Tower is that the tower-shaped tanks can be easily placed where water is needed. For example in a field where you can supply plants and trees with water. The water reserve accumulated in the towers can also be transported remotely by means of a system of pipes connected to the base of the tower.
2) RainDrops
The project RainDrops it's a low cost idea for rainwater harvesting. In fact, it does not use expensive tanks but simple plastic bottles.
The water stored in the plastic bottles can be used for house cleaning or gardening. Furthermore, this system contributes to the recycling of plastic bottles.
3) Eol'eau
This innovative rainwater collection system, designed by Julien Bergignat, is characterized by a double functionality: while storing water supplies he's able to produce electricity thanks to the wind. In this way you will not only have water for the garden but also energy to illuminate your home.
For this purpose Eol'eau was designed in two modules: the basis which collects up to 600 liters of rainwater and the turbine wind power plant, placed above, which produces electricity thanks to the wind.
F
The tank F designed by Waterwall it allows to conserve water for a long time (capacity 650 liters) preventing the formation of algae inside and outside the tank.
F finally solves one of the main problems relating to the collection and conservation of rainwater: algae.
The formation of the latter makes the water unsuitable for human use and forces it to be emptied.
The high density polyethylene with which the tank is made protects the water from UV rays which favor the formation of algae.
Watree
The plant Watree, designed by the Australian designer Chris Buerckner, offers an original and efficient solution for water collection. The mushroom-shaped structure has a large cap that facilitates the collection of water.
Il Watree it can be easily placed in a park or in other public places and thanks to its large hat it offers a double function: in addition to collecting rainwater, it can protect us from rains. The accumulated water reserves can be transferred to other reservoirs thanks to a network of underground pipes.
Cyst
The project Cyst bears the signature of the architects of Moss Sund and Fig Forty, who have characterized this plant with a futuristic and functional design that is well suited to that of modern homes.
With Cyst it will be possible, taking up little space, to collect 380 liters of water approximately. The stainless steel with which it is made makes it very resistant and thanks to its unique and modern design it will be perfect for your home.
Remember: water is a precious commodity for the planet and even a drop can make a difference.
