We all know that when it rains, it pours; and with the right rain barrel, all that rainwater can be saved. Rain water harvesting is important because it decreases the high demand for domestic water in which residential irrigation can account for up to 40% of consumption.

By collecting rain water and storing it a rain barrel you’ll have water for future use, whether it’s for watering the garden or just keeping it handy for emergency situations. One inch of rain fall on a 1,000 foot surface will yield approximately 500 gallons of soft, untreated rain water.

Rainwater harvesting is an entirely new water supply that can be used for irrigation, augmentation, or as an alternative to traditional supplies. Rainwater harvesting is a viable option  and will decrease the population's reliance on dwindling groundwater supplies and reduce demand for surface water.
