A pivotable downspout extension system includes an adapter coupleable to a fixed-position downspout via a downspout aperture, a bucket hingedly coupleable to the adapter, and an extension arm. The extension arm is received by an extension arm receiving portion located on the bucket. The bucket and the extension arm remain in a substantially vertical position until a sufficient amount of water enters the bucket so as to overcome the weight of a weight chamber of the bucket and move the bucket's center of gravity. The bucket with the extension arm then pivots on a fulcrum point, allowing the water to exit the extension arm. Once emptied, the weight chamber of the bucket pivots the bucket and extension arm to the substantially vertical position.

A rainwater conveyance system comprises a vault assembly and a drain emitter. At least a portion of the vault assembly is underground and is located above a percolation region in the ground. The drain emitter is connected to the conveyance line such that a primary portion of the collected water flows through the first portion of the conveyance line and a secondary portion of the collected water flows out of the second portion of the conveyance line through the drain emitter at a preset emitter flow rate. The drain emitter is arranged within the vault assembly, above the percolation region, and below the conveyance opening. The preset emitter flow rate is predetermined such that the flow of the secondary portion of the collected water out of the conveyance line through the drain emitter drains standing water from the conveyance line and the secondary portion of the collected water percolates through the percolation region.

A gutter downspout extension support is used to support the free end of a downspout extension above the ground. The gutter downspout extension support has a clip with a first and second connected legs that are disposed overlapping and at a spaced distance from one another thereby providing a narrow gap therebetween that is configured to removably receive in a friction fit a bottom wall of the downspout extension. A ground engaging support stake having a first end and a tapered second end and a pivot coupling connecting the first end of the ground engaging support stake to the clip such that the ground engaging support stake is pivotable toward and away from the clip.

A rain irrigation assembly includes a collector that is insertable into a downspout of a rain gutter to collect rain running in the downspout. A plurality of hoses is each fluidly coupled to the collector to receive the rain from the collector. A plurality of watering units is provided and each of the watering units can be positioned at a selected area of a yard. Each of the watering units is fluidly coupled to a respective one of the hoses to receive the rain from the respective hose. Each of the watering units has a foraminous surface to pass the rain outwardly therefrom for irrigating the selected area of the yard.

A catch basin comprising a circular collar with a first internal diameter, configured to receive a downwardly extending circular drain pipe. A sump for receiving downward water flow from the circular collar is integrally formed with the circular collar, the sump being shaped to include two differently shaped cylindrical portions. The shape of the sump facilitates both the ability to stack multiple units of the sump one upon another for packaging, shipping, and sale. The shape of the sump also facilitates the ability to remove an internal stub attached to the sump, to improve water flow in the remaining structure.

A T-piece for use in a water diverter is disclosed. The T-piece comprises an inlet for contaminated water and uncontaminated water, a first outlet for contaminated water, a second outlet for uncontaminated water, and a chamber between the inlet, the first outlet, and the second outlet. A portion of the chamber expands outwardly away from the inlet in order that the contaminated water adhered to the surface of the inlet becomes separated from the surface of the chamber. A water diverter comprising the T-piece is also disclosed.

The embodiments are apparatuses, systems and methods of water management and icicle prevention for solar carports, and are designed to catch drips between rows of, and water run-off from, the low side of inclined photovoltaic modules arranged to form the roof of the solar carport or canopy.
