Rain Barrel - Do It Yourself Demo

A rain barrel is a simple rainwater collector that captures and stores a portion of the runoff from a roof downspout for exterior uses, such as watering your garden or lawn. Rain barrels come in a wide variety of materials, designs, and colors. Common sizes for residential use are from 30 gallons all the way up to 90 gallons. They are usually installed on the ground next to buildings.

Using rain barrels to temporarily store and reuse rainwater conserve drinking water by providing a water source for gardens. This also save you money, by reducing both the water use charge and sewer charge on your city utility bill. Rain runoff from your roof flows into a stormdrain, or soaks into your groundwater. Capturing and reusing rainwater from your roof surfaces also reduces demand on the sewer system and protects the quality of streams and groundwater.
