Hg. * 3 shows a front view of the panel according to FIG Fig. 2

As can be seen from Fig. 1, a rainwater barrel is 1 in a foundation 2 used. The rainwater barrel 1 is connected via a pipe 3 to a rain collector 4, the one in a downpipe connected to the gutter system 5 is arranged.

A box 7 in the form of a well is placed on the bottom 6 of the foundation 2. The box 7 has side walls 8 and a cover 9. The cover 9 has a central opening 10 which is centrally above the rainwater barrel 1 lies.
