Futuristic skyscrapers will capture the rainwater.

Everybody knows clearly that daily consumption of water could be recycled by rainwater, which could then be purified and used again to meet our daily needs of pure water. But the problem is: we seldom know how to ‘harvest’ and recycle rainwater effectively. Possibly the ‘Capture The Rain’ skyscraper will show us a new way. The concept building features a special roof to collect as much rainwater as it possible, as well as reservoirs under the roof to store large amounts of water. Apart from meeting its inhabitants’ daily need, rainwater collected by the skyscraper will also be stored in reservoir under the building for other uses.

Very nice idea. How about having the rainwater run turbines on the way down the tower? Store that energy in batteries for backup systems or the pumps needed to get water from the cistern.

Very good idea…i agree with 130mega…it could be used to generate electricity and more.
