rain-barrels
Gutter drainage storage
Rain-barrels are containers placed beneath downspouts to collect rainwater from roofs.
The collected water is typically used for gardening, washing, or other non-potable purposes.
We filled our watering cans from the rain-barrels all summer.
Also spelled as one word or two: rainbarrels, rain barrels.
