A barrel of fun for your watershed



Here's another watershed-friendly option besides aiming your downspouts onto the ground (see Oct. 13)... Collect rain in a rain barrel for later use in your own yard. This practice not only conserves water. It helps recharge your watershed's groundwater, too.

Hey Kids, think about this. Why do you think the outflow hose is fastened near the top of the rain barrel instead of at the bottom?
