Interface Engineering is the author of the reading; yes, the article appears to be written by a company associated with engineering specifically dealing with rainwater collection. This author has been referred to in other reading associated with various aspects of engineering. The publication was written in 2004. The reading falls within a 5-year span, therefore yes the current article is within the date and relevant to the subject matter. This article is a first edition not a revision.

The article appears best suited for engineers related to the specific subject matter as well as individuals researching the benefits and facts regarding rainfall collection constructed buildings.

The reading has the tendency to come across as a third person style narration. The author is not attempting to instill his or her belief system, or trying to make his or her point appear more valid. The author gives descriptive facts regarding the various uses that rainwater may be used for in various building styles. A significant difference between this writing and others lays in the premise that this writing gave facts more than opinions. Some articles on the subject matter focus more on one's own opinion rather than allowing an individual to choose for themselves.

The point-of-view of the author appears to be that of an objective nature Instead of choosing sides the author provides the pros and cons of having building that collect and utilize rainwater.
