A descriptive investigation is developed on the subject of recruitment, types and components of rainwater.    Se desarrolla aquí, en una investigación descriptiva, el tema de captación de agua de lluvia, tipos y componentes. Se presentan antecedentes de trabajos realizados a nivel nacional y regional. Se da el enfoque en zonas áridas y semiáridas de México, especícamente en el denominado “desierto chihuahuense”, una vez que el recurso hídrico en estas zonas se vuelve invaluable por su poca o nula disposición, por lo que identicar y desarrollar estrategias para la captación y utilización de este recurso se vuelve fundamental para el desarrollo de las diferentes actividades y que además impacta en la calidad de vida de los habitantes. Se concluye que aún queda trabajo por de- sarrollar en el tema de captación y utilización de agua de lluvia en zonas áridas y semiáridas y que ésta se presenta como una estrategia viable para su implementación y utilización del uso e ciente del recurso. Es el primero de tres artículos; los siguientes son los resultados experimentales de la captación y de la calidad del agua captada por medio de estos sistemas.
