With the increasing urbanization of the population each year, the need for shelter has also increased, including shopping, infrastructure, offices and other supporting facilities. The development did not use a number of open land such as fields, gardens, rice fields which incidentally the area has a role to help absorb water into the ground.

Prior to the rapid development, in urban areas in particular, rainwater falling to earth will enter the ground as much as 80% of the total volume of rainwater that falls. While the remaining 20% ​​will flow into the sea. This condition is inversely proportional to the current reality. The majority of the volume of rainwater will only continue to flow towards the sea.

Underground waterways and water bodies such as rivers are enlarged to be able to drain as much water as possible into the sea or in other words “dump” freshwater sources into the sea. God designed a scheme of providing fresh water through rain in such a way that it could be utilized by His creatures. But what happens, humans as if wasted it.

When entering the dry season there is drought in some areas. Areas that during the rainy season have difficulty “throwing out” rainwater eventually have to experience drought even to the point of having difficulty getting clean water for their daily needs. During the rainy season, it is difficult to dispose of water, during the dry season looking for water. A sad phenomenon that occurs in our country. Then how to use rainwater so that we can enjoy rainwater in the dry season?
