Abstract
The subject matter, as well as the objectives of this article, was the usage and the modelling of the rainwater management process using artificial intelligence. The article deals with the research on how and why water should be used more effectively whether it is rainwater or greywater. In Slovakia, the usage of rainwater or greywater is not so popular. However, such usage has many advantages from an ecological, economical and technical viewpoint. In this article, a proposal was created of rainwater usage in a school building and this usage was realized by using Fuzzy cognitive maps. Fuzzy cognitive maps represent a well-oriented and evaluated diagram and it helped us to create a concrete process of water usage. The output of this experiment will be the decision system for the most effective use of water in a building, as well as the most effective way for the recycling of wastewater in buildings.

The paper describes the modelling of rainwater and greywater management process using artificial intelligence for an actual school building which is located on the campus of the Technical University in Košice, Slovakia
The fuzzy cognitive maps represent a welloriented and evaluated diagram which helped us to create the specific processes of water usage in the school building
Summary
We are living in an age where the topic of water scarcity is often discussed. While water supplies are decreased due to the decline of groundwater reserves, waste and pollution, the demand of water is increasing quite quickly. The design of the management processes of collected water in this building was created through the use of fuzzy cognitive maps. The decision-making system using fuzzy cognitive maps will be considered the most appropriate and efficient usage of rain and greywater in a building as alternative water sources. It will be a system using greywater and rain water as alternative water sources and in the case of a bigger volume of water as is needed in the building and it will be this water which is drained into the infiltration well. The discharge of waters into the sewer will be the last solution in our decision-making system
