Whenever it rains there is a tremendous amount of water that goes to waste. Have you ever wondered how some of it can be saved and used for different useful purposes? This might make you ask yourself how that would even be possible. So here is the answer to that question; rain barrels! Rain barrels can help us save and utilize this water to serve wonderful purposes in our lives. Rain barrels are used to collect the rain water draining off our rooftop via seamless gutters. We can collect this water while it’s raining and store it for the time when it can be best utilized. They are made up of a drum, a vinyl hose, PVC couplings, and a membrane to keep insects and debris out. These barrels are capable of storing from small to large amounts of water at a time.
Why use a Rain Barrel
- Rain barrels are best utilized in the time when there is a water crisis or there is a disturbance in our water management system.
- The rain barrels can also be used in our homes to save running water and use it for basic household work.

Help nature by using rain barrels
