ABSTRACT:
A screened gravity-fed water funnel or water funnel kit may be characterized in one aspect as including a substantially conically-shaped water-permeable mesh screen, a funnel releasably mounted or mountable to, and in fluid cooperation with, the screen, and a flexible tether mounted or mountable to the screen. An anchor or other means for embedding an upstream end of the tether immobile in the stream is mounted or mountable to the tether, opposite to the screen. That is, the anchor is mounted or mountable at an upstream end of the tether and an upstream narrow end of the screen is mounted or mountable to a downstream end of the tether, and wherein an upstream wide-end of the funnel is mounted to a downstream wide-end of the screen, and wherein a hose coupler is mounted or mountable to a downstream narrow end of the funnel.
