What do you guys think about running pipe down from gutters, along or under the ground, and then back up into a catchment? Say from a gutter height of 12', down to ground level, and then back up to 8'.
I calculated that the overall 4 ft drop (1.6psi) through 3" pipe should accomodate up to ~1 inch of rainfall per minute off of my roof, which would be a pretty epic downpour.
