Let’s say you have a garden that needs water but there is no convenient water source or  no rain gutters nearby to hook a standard rain collection system to.What you need is a way to collect rainwater, say, out in the middle of a field. Enter these engineering students who have crafted a standalone rainwater collector that you can build yourself. With a few modifications, you can use it as a sun shade, a dry respite from the rain and as a means to collect drinking water.
