Did you realize an average size roof (1,000 sf) sends
down over 600 gallons of rain water for each 1" of rain.
Rain Barrels can also be linked together to collect more
water.  

Compute How Much Water You Can Harvest:






With multiple down spouts, your rain capture can be
even higher.  

Consider How Much Water You
Use In Your Landscape
Our lawns, plants and gardens require a lot of water
to maintain good health and utility.  Rain Barrels help
to supplement the municipal or well water you must
use to maintain your landscape.  Try one -- you could
always add more in the coming years.
