Providing sustainable crop production regardless of climate conditions can be realized with production in greenhouse conditions. Greenhouse irrigation and moisture balance are among the systems related to the environmental conditions required for plant development. All the water resources are decreasing day by day due to the indiscriminate practices in agricultural irrigation and the pollution caused by the leakage of waste materials directly into the water resources. For this reason, water saving methods should be used in irrigation and fogging systems to be made in greenhouse conditions. With the method of harvesting rainwater, which is used in today's conditions, a special water collection system is planned in the roof system during the greenhouse design phase, and the accumulated water is transferred to the water collection pool with the help of pipes. The water accumulated in the water collection pool is transferred to the greenhouse irrigation and fogging systems by using pressurized systems when needed. In this study, it is aimed to give information in the context of the literature on the collection and accumulation of rainwater, which is being used recently in modern greenhouses, and the establishment of irrigation - fogging systems. For this purpose, it has been revealed that the information obtained by literature review is compiled and water saving can be achieved in greenhouse cultivation. In the compilation study, it is recommended to support the studies on the technology of harvesting rainwater in greenhouse and to encourage the investments to be made in this field.
