Default Collecting rainwater from yer gutters...

Anyone do this, in barrels?
Simple enough, in principle....
Just wondering about tricks, logistics, using gravity vs. pumps to
redistribute the water, how you use it (lawn only, or bring inside the
house), etc.
I have 10 downspouts, and could conceivably remove my water meter
altogether, w/ a system like this.

'Course, if I did install it, and disconnected my water meter, you can bet
NY would have the longest goddamm drought in recorded history.
Like the snow we're gonna get.... cuz my snow blower is broken....

google harvest rainwater and you'll have about a half million hits to
research

all drinking water starts out as rainwater

much of the 3rd world drinks rainwater

rainwater doesn't have minerals in it like water filtered by the earth

catchment systems usually entail metal, wood, or plastic roofs
