Stormwater Management at Home: Rainwater Collection Using Rain Barrels
Did you know that a single rain barrel can help keep over 1,000 gallons of rainwater off the streets each year? By capturing and storing stormwater, rain barrels reduce flooding while providing a free, sustainable water source for your garden and lawn.
Beyond the benefits to your home, storing stormwater on your property helps prevent runoff, keeping pollutants, litter, and bacteria from entering our waterways. This simple practice supports a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone.
