摘要： This system uses one or a series of expandable and stackable rectangular boxes designed to collect rainwater from a rooftop or other manmade impervious surface via a downspout to reduce rainwater runoff and harvest rainwater for reuse. The system is comprised of a downspout diverter, one or a series of expandable and stackable rectangular boxes, and pipes. Rainwater is diverted from the downspout into the boxes that are connected by pipes. The collected rainwater exits from a valve leading to an opening for reuse. This opening can also be connected to a pump to raise the water pressure to a higher level for irrigation or other usages. The top of the box consists of a flat surface that is suitable for mounting flower beds or plant containers. The stacked rectangular boxes can also be used as a wall or for other nonintrusive purposes. Our RCRS is easy to install and requires minimal space. Our RCRS is made from cost saving materials. Our RCRS boxes can be easily connected to each other. Our RCRS downspout diverter has self-cleaning capabilities. The flat space located on top of our RCRS boxes can be utilized for plantings such as flower beds or a vegetable garden.
