Do-It-Yourself Rain Barrel Kits to Promote Groundwater
Conservation
This project educated the public about groundwater conservation
and ultimately should reduce stormwater runoff to streams
through the use of rain barrels. Rain barrels capture and
store roof water runoff when it rains and allow the homeowner
to use the stored water later. The district purchased barrels
and provided instructions, educational information, and supplied
packets for citizens to make their own barrels. A small fee
was charged for the barrel and materials.
