rainwater after the first flush
The term first flush is generally used for harvesting rainwater. If this is the context (e.g. filling a tank with rainwater from a roof for washing or drinking) then, this is simply ordinary rainwater after the first flush of dirty water full of leaves and things that you don't want.
