The invention relates to a rainwater collection system 2 comprising a three dimensional cellular member 4 in the form of a cellular array of holes 6 extending through the thickness of the array, wherein the holes are preferably in the form of an hexagonal honeycomb structure. The honeycomb structure is filled with aggregate/gravel material 7 so as to form a reinforced ground surface 9. A flexible impermeable membrane 14 extends beneath the cellular member so as to collect the rainwater which has fallen onto the reinforced ground surface and propagated through the aggregate material filling the holes of the cellular member. The cellular member is preferably made from a polymer and the impermeable membrane from butyl rubber. The collection system forms a reinforced ground surface suitable for use as a driveway or path. |
