== Final Design ==
 
The final design of the rainwater catchment system in Las Malvinas consisted of reconstruction of the roof and first flush. Additionally a primary screening and PVC gutters were included in the design. The outcome consisted of a working rainwater catchment system that efficiently prevents contaminants from entering the tinaco(water storage tank).
