While 70 percent of the Earth's surface is covered in water, only 3 percent of that amount is considered drinkable-a mere thimbleful in comparison. Conserve water and reduce storm runoff by hammering together a basic rain barrel to collect what falls freely from the heavens for washing your car or watering your lawn and garden.

Naturally soft and free from chemicals, minerals, and other additives, a sizable downpour can fill a 50-gallon drum in a matter of minutes. Plus, you can make your own for less than $15. Follow the link for detailed instructions on how to ratchet up those water savings. ::Rainscapes
