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 youll have water for future use, whether its for watering the garden or just keeping it handy for emergency situations. (www.composters.com)
