Rationale

This concept is a rainwater collector and storage which inspired by heliconia flower. These flowers are produced on long, erect or drooping panicles, and consist of brightly colored waxy bracts, with small true flowers peeping out from the bracts. Heliconia is very drought intolerant, so its structure and form help it to collect more water. For the bracts, they grow one opposite to another so they can collector water in different directions while the long erect shape is particular helpful too. For this design, it copies the structure and form from heliconia flower. There is a main watering can which holds a few flower shape parts that help to collect water and can store a few water as well. For these parts, they can insert into each other. So users can decide how many parts they need and how to assemble them. Also they can be collected one in one in order to save space when not being used. This collector can be in different sizes. For apartment, it can be located at the corner of the balcony while for house, there could be a few in the garden. AS users can decide how many parts they want to put on the can, so it is flexible to decide how much water we want to store. For the material being used, it is decided to be recycled plastic because it is easy in contour machining and the plastic can be recycled used. For now, it is necessary for everyone to save water due to the environment situation. This rainwater collector help users to collect rainwater and we can use the water for gardening or other activities which do not required drinkable water.
