It's raining gold! Well - maybe it's just raining, but when you live in a drought-stricken part of the country, it may as well be gold.
Catching that liquid gold in a bucket or barrel can conserve energy, water and money. This is especially applicable for those who operate on well water, which uses an electric pump each time you turn on the faucet.
Whether you position a large barrel under the downspout from your roof gutters or simply place a bucket or two in the yard when rain is forecast, harvesting rainwater is a simple way to keep it green while saving some green.
For more information on harvesting rainwater, check out The Texas Manual of Rainwater Harvesting.
The Texas A&M System Agri-LIFE Extension also offers extensive information for a number of applications on their website. Click here for more details.
