Abstract:

A rainwater collection and distribution system embodying a rain collector apparatus for collecting rainwater in an easy to transport tank is provided, wherein the apparatus is adapted to direct excessive rainwater as well as relocate and distribute rainwater stored in the tank. The rain collector may form an internal cavity for receiving rainwater. A recessed operative surface along an upper portion of the rain collector may form a plurality of apertures for receiving and communicating the rainwater into the internal cavity. The operative surface may be sloped so that rainwater in excess of the capacity of the internal cavity is directed along the slope to a predetermined location. The rain collector may form a handle and a pour spout, whereby a user may transport the rainwater stored in the internal cavity and pour stored rainwater through the pour spout for a desired reuse activity.
