Rainwater Collecting Systems allows us to collect it in order to store it for later use. Currently, new technology and materials innovations made this alternative safer and more reliable. On this basis, this paper aims to: - Design, develop and transfer an unconventional system for this purpose - Achieving social acceptance for the implementation of these issues at the level of social housing. - Improve hygienic conditions, habitability, etc. of the population with the use of a common good (rainwater) for it. Regarding the methodology used, the analysis will be undertaken in the following stages: - analysis and proposals: the theoretical framework was generated, also background researching, and possible solutions, - the selection of the proposal, adjustment of it, construction process of operation, use. etc., - preparation of technical documentation, - realization, - experimentation, - demonstration, - analysis and selection of application areas - difussionn and transfer. As for the results achieved, 3 alternatives were generated, whose analyzes have showed that they have high economic performance and also they are affordable for future users and / or developers as they can be made with locally available materials and components and have ease of construction and placement were they are needed. Also, these systems are adaptive, which turn them into products whose investment justifies its adoption in different types of building but this incorporation was oriented experience, specifically in social housing because cost conforms to the economic range of user-builders. This system was applied in social housing in La Trinidad, Chicligasta, which is under construction with vegetable ash masonry mills; thus, the dwelling is conceived and became a bioenvironmental housing adequacy.
