Rainwater is a free and renewable source used for domestic purposes but due to storage constraints, 36% of rain water is used in India even though heavy rainfall occurs during monsoon months. Nowadays the roads and their development in city environments are incalculable. The outstanding backlog is that most of the time, the drainage is filled by rain that falls on roads lead to less possibility of rain water usage. This work describes of saving rain water via external sensor -equipped pipes attached to the roadside. Whenever rain water fall on sensors it will be sensed, so that the pipes will open and rain water will fall through the fitted pipes and further it is transferred to storage tank with the aid of servo motors and DC motors. Through this prototype construction the rain water quantity of 55% is getting saved and also supports for ground water recharge
