डाउनस्पॉउट इसके अंग्रेजी अर्थ का उदाहरण

They sometimes occupy tanks (cisterns), downpipes (downspouts), and gutters, as these have high humidity and are usually cooler than the external environment.

They are funnel-shaped elements, connected in most cases to a gutter, and from there to a downspout.

 The downspouts take the water run off from the roof that is collected in the gutters  to the ground or into a storm water management system.

The purpose of a leader head is to help transfer excess water from the roof onto downspouts thus, preventing the gutters from overflowing and water washing over the walls, a common occurrence especially in areas susceptible to heavy rain cycles.

  Because the top of the funnel is open, air is constantly introduced into the system and water flows faster through the downspouts.

 Additionally, some leader heads are designed to receive more than one downspout, or in some cases more than one gutter converge onto a single leader head.

These elements, as are the other roof drainage system components, gutters, scuppers or downspouts, have to be sized to perform well, according to the amount of precipitation that they are intended to help alleviate.

In those cases, the leader head provides the transition from scupper to downspout.
