The International Rainwater Catchment Systems Association (IRCSA) aims to promote and advance rainwater catchment systems technology with respect to planning, development, management, science, technology, research and education worldwide. Its website contains factsheets and papers related to rainwater harvesting.

Today, climate change, environmental problems and a growing amount of waste and pollution are major challenges in all areas and must be dealt. In the fields of landscaping and architecture, however, there is the tendency to focus more on aesthetics and less on basic ecological functionality. This paper shows how to combine aesthetic quality with ecological functionality.
