rain barrel
Outdoor water tank
A rain barrel is a container placed beneath a downspout to collect rainwater from a roof.
The captured water is typically used for gardening, washing, or other non-potable purposes.
Rain barrels range from simple repurposed drums to decorative vessels with spigots and overflow valves: We filled our watering cans from the rain barrel.
