Collect rainwater
Water from rain barrels and cisterns is not suitable for drinking, cooking or laundry, but you can use it on your lawn and garden. Capturing rainwater in rain barrels or cisterns makes great sense for home gardens, since we have many wet months, but in the summer we receive very little rain. Connect several rain barrels together to gather a large supply of water. Local hardware stores and online vendors provide rain barrels and cisterns. Learn more about rain barrels.
