What is a rain barrel and where can I get one?
A rain barrel is a rainwater harvesting system that is connected to a downspout from a house or building. By collecting rainwater, you will have a waterSmart source of water to keep your landscape hydrated, regardless of climate conditions or watering restrictions. Rain barrels also help reduce erosion and storm water runoff and increase water quality. You can either a purchase pre-made rain barrels at your local hardware or garden store or create your own.
