This work points to a possible solution to future problems with rainwater retention or the solution of local current problems and seeks to find a general solution that can be applied to any place, any city and in any environment. In my work I focus on collecting rainwater around schools and school facilities. Schools are distributed quite evenly throughout the city, and therefore it is appropriate to focus on them, what would be the basic matrix of creating measures of a general nature. Measures in schools also play an important role due to the educational nature of the measure, as it helps children to naturally understand the need to save and manage water. The work contains 2 large blocks. Analysis and study focused on selected civic amenities: schools. The individual analyzes led to the determination of what type of spatial and functional arrangement of the city is most suitable to focus on for the needs of the area application of rainwater collection. The study block contains an introduction to the issue of rainwater harvesting, a description of the current state, world references related to this topic and then lists the various tools for these needs with clarification of their function. This follows with 15 individual small studies of schools with their adjacent surroundings, which are divided into three zones according to the type of development of the city, on which the application of predetermined tools is tested. The evaluation of 15 schools in small studies shows that each school, regardless of its location, has spatial parameters for rainwater retention. Civic amenities of schools are one of the well-distributed infrastructure networks. This study shows that the infrastructure already built into the city can be enriched with new features that can help make the city more resistant to climate change and help people in cities to live in harmony with water.
