The easiest form of a collector is a dam. We can make a dam by putting some stones, branches, soil, or similar material into a brook and making an outflow which serves as a pipe. We can also make a collector in or near the brook: Making a collector in a stream is done by putting a barrel without a bottom into a brook, and fixing it. Water penetrates through gravel and sand into the barrel and cleans itself in this way. | |
A similar collector can be built near a brook. About half a meter from a brook, river or lake dig a hole and coat it with stones, branches and/or planks. This way we make something similar to a fountain. Water in a brook, river or lake penetrates through gravel and sand into our fountain and cleans itself this way. It is also wise to cover the fountain. |
