    Interesting. Basically a vertical swale with gravity removing the usual debris. I think that small inputs would largely be wasted, cos you’d need a certain amount of velocity to get the water stream hitting the filters, but could be harvested with a conventional swale. I would also assume that there’s a way to clean the filters but that’s not obvious from the diagram.

      for the filter, take it out and hose it from behind.

      The smaller inputs intrigue me because this almost looks like a gutter fed ram pump of all things. it builds the siphon then VOOM. if so I’m bloody hooking a turbine up lol.
