This proposed project is to design a water catchment system for specific use with contaminated collection systems (primarily roofs).

When rain falls, a water catchment system is used to collect the rain water from a collection system. For this project, the analyzed collection system will be roofs of small buildings. One potential problem of collecting the rain water on a roof arises if there is contamination on the roof's surface, from dead bugs or bird feces. This contamination (usually built up over a dry season) could easily wash into a catchment system during the first rain fall, causing the entire batch of what would be drinkable water to be unusable.

The proposed optimized water catchment system will employ a method of diverting the contaminated water before collecting the clean rainwater.
