The DownSpout System is a biomimetic solution that treats and stores rainwater and runoff in a similar way to a marshland or riparian edge. Through an investigation of these ecological systems in plant species, corresponding root depths, soil types, and hydrological zones, we have created a system that can be customized to fit into its applied environment while still operating at an optimal level based on its natural systemic inspiration. DownSpout is made up of three different modules that together comprise the intended phytoremediary function. The three modules utilize water from an existing downspout by collecting it higher up on the wall (or other vertical medium), and redirecting it into the DownSpout System.
