A multi-story water storage apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of stackable units arranged one above another along a vertical axis, each of the stackable units including a coupling portion arranged in alignment with the vertical axis, the coupling portion having a first space with a drainage hole, at least one of the stackable units being a storage unit having a storage portion arranged radially outwardly of the coupling portion with respect to the vertical axis, the storage portion having a water storage compartment, the storage unit having an outlet passage through which water stored in the storage compartment flows into the first space.
A storage unit, comprising:
- a coupling portion having a circular cross-sectional shape;
- a storage portion arranged laterally outwardly of the coupling portion, the storage portion having a water storage compartment;
- and
- an outlet passage through which water stored in the storage compartment is drained to the first space of the coupling portion,
- wherein the coupling portion includes a bottom having a drainage hole, a side wall extending upwardly from the bottom, a second space isolated from the first space by a partition wall extending upwardly from the bottom and an inlet passage through which the water is introduced from the second space into the storage compartment, and the storage compartment includes at least two individual storage regions arranged circumferentially around the coupling portion, the individual storage regions communicating with one another through a communication passage so that the water can be introduced from one of the individual storage regions into another.
