The positives of harvesting rainwater

AUSTIN (KXAN) — We should be doing anything and everything we can to help our environment. One good way is to purchase a rain barrel to collect precious rainwater.

Texas is one state that encourages its residents to harvest rainwater to help reduce the drought conditions that lead to an already limited water supply. As we get closer to summer, the driest time of the year in Central Texas, there are several cities that have enacted water restrictions to preserve our precious water resource.
