Abstract
A system for controlling rainwater runoff has an inlet conduit. A first junction is connected to the inlet conduit. A by-pass conduit connects the first junction with a second junction. A first transfer conduit connects the first junction with a storage tank. A second transfer conduit connects the storage tank with the second junction. An outlet conduit connects with the second junction. The system is arranged such that it provides substantial rain-water drainage.
Claims9
A system for controlling rainwater run-off, comprising:
- a. an inlet conduit;
- b. a first junction which receives the inlet conduit;
- c. a by-pass conduit connecting the first junction with a second junction;
- d. a first transfer conduit connecting the first junction with a first storage tank;
- e. a second transfer conduit connecting the first storage tank with the second junction;
- and
- f. an outlet conduit connected to the second junction;
- the system arranged such that it provides substantial rain-water drainage to a site whereby water runs along the inlet conduit to the first junction and, as a matter of priority, runs away from the first junction via the by-pass conduit to the second junction but, in the event that water enters the first junction at a rate faster than the ability of the by-pass conduit to carry it away a portion of the water entering the first junction flows along the first transfer conduit into the first storage tank and gradually runs from the first storage tank to the second junction via the second transfer conduit, the system arranged such that water which arrives at the second conduit is able to drain away from there via the outlet conduit.
