Abstract Published results on rainwater management systems revealed a lack of holistic science-based design principles. A new approach to is proposed. Its necessity and feasibility are discussed. It demonstrated that quantitatively harvesting rainfall infiltrating fraction should be mandatory. Thus, the primary site-specific parameter intensity rainfall. Clearly, harvested used everywhere as valuable resource. Under arid semi-arid conditions large tanks maximize water storage for long dry season while under humid same helps minimize frequency emptying avoid flooding. The separates (and stormwater) from sewage has potential maintain natural hydrological cycle in urban areas despite urbanization. In already crowded slums, (RWH) can also restore cycle. advocates decentralized RWH infrastructures harvest, infiltrate, store individual residences, piping overflows semi-centralized cluster-scale tanks. Rooting integrated resource appears missing puzzle in: (i) restoring where it been disturbed (landscape restoration), (ii) avoiding flooding, mitigating soil erosion. This essential sustainable development.
