Abstract
In the urban environment the impervious surfaces that supplant natural spaces, shed water that causes storm water runoff. This water runoff is treated as a waste product and has to be eliminated from the urban environment as quickly as possible. In this case rainwater is removed from the landscape and also the esthetic qualities of rainwater are underestimated. This article analyses sustainable rainwater management systems, and how to create esthetically pleasing city environment using rainwater.
