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.

With rain water being one of the most abundant and consistently available natural resources, the harvesting and conservation of it is an efficient way to cut down the cost of water usage in the household and help alleviate the burden of imposing water shortages. Strategic placement of a rain barrel underneath the gutters of your home can provide a barrel full of rain water in a downpour, which in turn can be used in practical ways such as watering your flowers and garden or even washing your car. With enough rain water saved up throughout the year (and depending on how many barrels you’re using), you might never have to use the garden hose for an entire summer. The benefits of having one does wonders for people who tend to use the garden hose on a liberal basis, saving not just a good chunk of pocket change but also provide fresher and purer natural soft water for your plants.
