Homeowner needs to estimate water flow at each downspout to decide where to place rain barrels.
No easy, non-physical method exists to estimate water distribution among multiple downspouts; current method requires climbing and checking gutter slope.

App Concept
Downspout Flow Estimator
An app that uses roof geometry and rain data to estimate water flow per downspout. Input your roof layout or satellite imagery to get flow distribution without climbing ladders.
Key Features
- Satellite roof mapping to identify sections and downspouts
- Rainfall data integration for location-based estimates
- Simple drag-and-drop interface to assign roof areas to downspouts
- Flow reports with volume per downspout for barrel sizing
Target Users: DIY homeowners interested in rainwater harvesting
Revenue Model: $4.99 per report or $19.99 annual subscription
