Rain barrel

A system for rainwater harvesting utilizes a rain barrel adapted for collecting and storing rainwater runoff gravity-fed from a rooftop through a downspout. A downspout diverter comprises an inlet section, an outlet section, and an elongated connector section interconnecting the inlet section and the outlet section. The inlet section has a first open end adapted for communicating with an end of the downspout and a second open end communicating with an inlet opening formed with the rain barrel. The outlet section of the diverter has a first open end communicating with an outlet (or, overflow) opening formed with the rain barrel and a second open end for directing rainwater outwardly from the rain barrel.

System and method for harvesting rainwater

A system for rainwater harvesting includes a rain barrel adapted for collecting and storing rainwater runoff gravity-fed from a rooftop through a downspout. A substantially rigid downspout diverter comprises an inlet section, an overflow section, and an elongated connector section interconnecting the inlet section and the overflow section. The inlet section has a first end adapted for communicating with an end of the downspout and a second end communicating with an inlet opening formed with the rain barrel. The overflow section has a first end communicating with an overflow opening formed with the rain barrel and a second end extending away from the rain barrel.
