The invention utilizes environmental factors (rainfall data, ground water table, etc.) along with computational models to evaluate how much rainwater may be collected and whether there is sufficient potential for ground-water recharge. The invention also provides the means and method to allow users to enter information regarding the size of the building's roof area, the type of roof and if there are open spaces available through the invention's user interface. Using this entered information along with the environmental data obtained by the invention, the invention will compute how much rainwater may be collected and determine if artificial recharge is possible. In addition, the invention will provide a recommendation module to suggest one of several structures including a storage tank, recharge pit, re."
