rainbarrel
Eaves water tank
A rainbarrel is a container placed beneath a downspout to collect rainwater from a roof, typically for garden use.
The collected water bypasses municipal treatment, saving money and reducing runoff.
Also spelled as two words: rain barrel.
We filled our watering cans from the rainbarrel.
