Feeling more and more the effects of global warming, environmental practices is becoming a daily news and topic of discussions. Environmental and green movements are everywhere encouraging people to help in the protection and conservation of our environmental and natural resources in every possible way we can, no matter how small the act may be.

There are so many ways to help in greening our planet and conserving natural resources such as water, especially in the household level. One practice is keeping  a rain barrel or above ground water storage vessel. This practice is already among the Best Management Practices or BMP which is also referred to as “rainwater harvesting.”  There are different sizes of rain barrels, for instance, the 55 gallon rain barrel for bigger houses, which purpose is to capture rain runoff from the roof through the gutter and downspout system.

The rain stored in the barrel may be used for a lot of purposes such as watering plants and soil to increase groundwater recharge and cleaning automobiles and other household stuff. Through regular practice of this system, you will save a good amount of tap water which will both help you save money from the water bill and help in the conservation of water resource.
