To have sufficient water supply
I have a friend who is considers herself an environmentalist; she recycles a lot of her stuff like plastics, and use things that are biodegradable. At her house she uses rain water barrels to collect and store rainwater specifically rain water runoff from rooftops via rain gutter , this process of collecting and storing rain water is known as rain harvesting. A rain barrel is also known as a rain tank, it is a popular equipment in rain harvesting used in areas that do not have sufficient water supply, expensive or poor quality water.
Rain harvesting can be done either for economic or environmental reasons. For my friend however, it is both. With the use of her rain water barrel, her water bill rapidly decreased, resulting to more savings that can be used in emergencies. The rain water that was collected and stored by rain barrels, are then later used for watering gardens, flushing her toilet, washing clothes and washing her garage and car. With proper filtering equipments, and proper storage facilities, rain water can also used for drinking, this is the reason why rain barrels are installed above ground and usually opaque, to prevent exposure to sunlight , thus preventing algal blooms. Water conservation does not only help the environment, but also help our pockets.
