Generally, the main purpose of water barrel is to capture rainwater and store it for a while so you can use it anytime you want or need to. Rain water tanks or barrels are manufactured in lots of sizes, materials, shapes, and colors. You can collect around 300 gallons of rain water depending on how long it is going to rain. If you have a big garden, you need to have a bigger size of water barrel or more than one, in order to collect more. Sometimes, you may need to have water that is good for days or weeks.
You can place your rain water tank anywhere outside where it has a better way of collecting volumes. They can be situated on the ground of your backyard, under your decking areas, along the side of your house or maybe in your garden. Also, installing a water pump in your rainwater tank is a good idea. This makes it more efficient to release water from tank, whenever you need to nurture your plants.

Once you have enough water barrels in your yard, you can add new plants too. Obviously, you are not only making a much greener scenery in your yard, but also lessening the bad effects or negative causes of excessive rain from the environment. Strong storm and hurricane can ruin plants, but if your garden is housed with a roof, it can be protected, and watering the plants is more controllable.
This idea is actually very beneficial not only to your water bill, but also to your plants. If you have observed, plants and trees become livelier and eventually greener after the rain, because the water that comes from the clouds are fresh, cool and clear. They have natural elements that somehow help in the growth and nourishment of plants. In other words, it is clear that it is safe for your plants and the entire environment.
