Rain Barrels

What are rain barrels?

Rain barrels are low-cost, effective, and easily maintainable retention devices applicable to both residential and commercial/industrial LID sites.  Rain barrels operate by retaining a volume of rooftop runoff that can be stored and used later for lawn or garden watering.
