Abstract£ºFacing the fact that present architectural design seldom considers rainwater collecting and using, a system frame of rainwater collecting-filtering-storing is proposed so as to sufficiently use the water. The system includes both the greening and non-greening buildings and their environments. The system can respectively collect the rainwater from roofs,balconies, aprons, courtyards, roads and plazas, etc. for reusing after filtering. The detailed design of the main parts of the rainwater collecting system is described.
