Rain Barrels & Watering

Why Collect Rain Water?

Did you know, according to the US Geographical Survey, the average American uses 80-100 gallons of water a day? That means a typical family of 4 could use up to 146,000 gallons every year.

Sky rocketing water consumption along with our changing weather patterns, means it is everyone's responsability to conserve water. Collecting and storing rain water to irrigate your lawn and garden is a great way to do your part in helping to preserve our environment.

Have you ever notice the quantity of water that falls from your house in even moderate rain? It may not look like much but the quantity is very deceptive. One inch of rain on a 1,000 square feet on roof equals 620 gallons.
