The rainwater harvesting system is an innovative method based on green technology that is suitable for countries that receive high annual rainfall throughout the year. This system is also appropriate because heavy rainfall in large quantities will accelerate surface water flow. Rainwater harvesting is a solution to several water sustainability problems. It reduces the risk of water rationing and helps reduce the risk of flooding. This technology is inexpensive and easy to implement in both new and existing buildings. This paper aims to examine the sustainability of the rainwater harvesting system and its effectiveness in a project conducted in the residential area of Desa KEDA Singkir Badong, Kedah. The project was carried out using a short-term training method, both theoretical and practical, to make rural youth more skilled and innovative in producing sustainable products. This project also has the potential to solve water supply problems in areas experiencing low water pressure.
