Rainwaters harvesting has been the vital source of water resource for drinkable and non-drinkable purposes in the ancient eras. As the water transportation systems stayed not used for water supply for these times. At present, the water distribution systems have upgraded, but the request to fresh water is increasing due to the inhabitants growing, and development. The water shortages and presented water supply for drinking are limited, which insisted the specialists working in the water division to search for solutions could be applied to the water deficiency that many countries in the world are facing. Optimization of water habit and the management of water resource will be able to aid to passing water shortage. This work contain the first designing and accumulation of rainwater from the rooftop in Baghdad City. Moreover, designing a detention pond using hydrology studio software programme to store the collected water.
