   How do rain barrels reduce pollution?

   • Rain barrels reduce this pollution by capturing and containing rainwater, decreasing the total amount of runoff water. Less runoff means water can seep back into the ground slowly, reducing the amount of polluted water that runs into rivers and streams, which ultimately conserves bodies of water.

   How do you protect a rain barrel?

   • If the barrel does not come with a stand, create a base to stand it on using an even stack of bricks. Insulate the water butt with a reflective material to reduce the water temperature in warm weather. Make sure your rain barrel has a lid to stop debris falling in and to prevent flies and mosquitoes laying eggs in the water.
