Abstract:
1. An apparatus for the collection and distribution of water comprising, an elongated, tubularly-shaped and horizontally-positioned module through which water can flow, having a bottom portion, an upper portion which is arcuately shaped and defines a plurality of flow apertures, and said module having a pair of ends, with a fluid coupling construction at one end, and an elongated, tubularly-shaped and vertically-positioned stack, said stack having a base portion and a body portion, (a) said base portion (1) having a fluid coupling construction adapted to engage the fluid coupling construction on the module so as to form a fluid coupling assembly for the flow of water between the module and the stack, and (2) defining a base portion cross sectional area and (b) said body portion of said stack constructed (1) to extend vertically upwardly from the base portion, and (2) defining a body portion cross sectional area, wherein the base portion cross sectional area is at least as large as the body portion cross sectional area, and wherein water can flow between the module and the stack through the fluid coupling assembly.
