A downspout diverter for rainwater collection that is installed through a hole in the wall of a downspout and functions as a gate valve by redirecting the flow of water from a pan-like Interior gate through a fitted bushing and exterior hose spout. The gate can be turned from its horizontal capture position to its vertical non-capture position by rotating the bushing. It is easy to install and remove without disconnecting the downspout, and its small size and accessory plug effect a finished appearance to the downspout.

The present invention describes a system (1) enabling treating water from a water tank (3), which water tank (3) is arranged in a water distribution architecture also comprising one or more user units (8), said system (1) also enabling recycling of water or discarding of water not suitable to recycle, said system (1) comprising a water distribution unit (2), at least one water treating unit (6) and a sensor unit (7) arranged for measurement of at least water quality, said water distribution unit (2) comprising one common user unit inlet 9 connectable via piping to said one or more user units (8) on their used water output side; said water distribution unit (2) further comprising a contaminated water outlet (10); and said water distribution unit (2) further comprising at least one water recirculation port (1000) connectable via piping to the water tank (3) to enable flowing water between the water distribution unit (2) and the water tank (3); and wherein said at least one water treating unit (6) enables to treat water to increase the water quality thereof and where the sensor unit (7) is connected to a control unit, which, based on the measurement of the water quality, is arranged to decide if water should be recycled to the water tank (3) from the water distribution unit (2) or should be discarded via the contaminated water outlet (10) from the water distribution unit (2).

A modular storage tank (100) for collecting and storing water, one module of said tank (100) comprising: a frame (12) defining a chamber (14), said frame (12) having a base portion (16) and a top portion (18), and a plurality of vertical members (104) extending between the base and the top portions (16, 18); said top portion (18) and said base portion (16), in use, each having edge members (22) extending longitudinally along a length of said tank (100), and a plurality of cross members (24) extending transversely between opposing edge members (22); at least one flexible material to be located within the chamber (14); and a plurality of side panels (28) to be located between opposing vertical members (104) and to substantially enclose said chamber (14).

An environmental system is disclosed. The environmental system is configured to provide varying degrees of ventilation and shading. In addition, the environmental system can include provisions for collecting rainwater and holding greenery. The system can includes a mounting structure, a set of frames, a plurality of bars, skins, beams, and optionally one or more plants.

The invention relates to a collection device (10) that comprises a plurality of collection containers (12A, 12B, 12C) suitable for receiving rainwater, each collection container (12A. 12B, 12C) comprising a circumferential wall (14) and a lower wall (16). The collection containers (12A, 12B, 12C) are stacked so as to form a stack along a vertical axis (Z). Each container (12A, 12B) arranged above another, adjacent container (12B, 12C) comprises a water flow opening (18) that is provided in the lower wall (16) thereof and leads into said other, adjacent container (12B, 12C). Each container (12B, 12C) that is arranged below another, adjacent container (12A, 12B) houses a buoyant closure element (20) that is movable along the vertical axis (Z) between a lower position and an upper position depending on the amount of water in said container (12B, 12C) and closes the flow opening (18) in the upper position.

A water capture device for installing in an elevated location on a building. The water capture device comprises a plurality of exterior walls, an input opening, a main chamber, a release opening, an overflow channel, and an overflow opening. The plurality of exterior walls defines a cavity. The input opening allows for allowing water to enter the cavity. The main chamber is within the cavity configured to fill with water. The release opening is for selectively releasing water from the main chamber for use by a user. The overflow channel within the cavity is for receiving excess water from the main chamber that rises above a threshold associated with the overflow channel. The first overflow opening is for allowing excess water within the overflow channel to freely exit the water capture device.

Individual square shaped modules used in an assembly for underground storage of storm water and other fluid storage needs. Modules are assembled into a resultant square tilling shape for maximized structural strength and material use efficiency. Internal square shaped modules are assembled and encased by external square shaped modules. Internal adjacent modules are in direct fluid communications with one another through a channel-less chamber. Internal square shaped modules drain into square shaped modules chamber where fluid is either stored or drained. Assemblies include various top and side pieces along with access ports for entry into said assembly.

A rain water collection system for a blue roof system that includes a tray assembly comprising a container, a water absorbing layer located in said interior region of the container, ballast members and a cover plate. The water absorbing layer is supported on a first set of support surfaces to locate the water absorbing layer above the bottom wall of the container to provide a water collecting space into which will flow excess water that exceeds the water absorbing capacity of the water absorbing layer. The sidewalls of the container have openings therethrough to facilitate the passage of over flow water from the container and the introduction of air therethrough into the interior region. The upstanding columns have openings to facilitate the passage of air therethrough into the interior region of the container.
