RAIN BARREL
WORKSHOP
Florida receives an average of 53 inches of rainfall per year. Most of
this water washes lawns
and pavement carrying
fertilizers and other
chemicals into local waterways. An inch of
rainfall over a 1000 sq ft
area yields in excess of
600 gallons of water. A
rain barrel is an inexpensive means of capturing and storing some
of this water for later
use. By installing a rain
barrel you’ll not only
help reduce pollution,
but you’ll also have a
supply of free nonchlorinated soft water
for irrigating your landscape.
