Rain barrels capture rain water from your roof for use on your garden or landscape. The 30-50 gallons of water they typically hold lessens the drain on our aquifers. They also reduce our local energy consumption because energy is not used to pump, purify and store the water.
Rain barrels can be purchased at a reduced price from the sources below.
