Abstract

The rainwater harvesting systems is a technique which that have been used for many years, with outstanding results that has been used since antiquity. However, it is still not used around the world. Drinking water is an essential element for humanity. However, millions of people do not have access to drinkable water all over the world. Poor countries do not benefit from drinking water even if efforts have been made by governments in developed countries. Poor countries cannot afford modern water treatment and water supply systems. The rainwater capture process would be a viable solution because it is not so costly. So, in some underdeveloped countries, this system has been successfully adopted. It is as quick as possible to take measures from this point of view and the process of collecting rainfall would be one of the solutions. Being a technique used since ancient times, we can even state that it has been used since antiquity, we can say with certainty that this technique will be able to satisfy the water requirements for a large number of people who have not benefited from drinking water.
