Saving Rainwater
Households rely on different water sources that must be protected from contamination. Those using rainwater, for example, should be sure that no dirt gets washed into the storage tank along with it. Also, rain barrels should be protected from insects, rodents and other animals. A well positioned rain barrel can quickly fill with water in a short amount of time during a downpour. Persons relying on surface water, such as streams or brooks, are almost certainly drinking polluted water. It is nearly impossible to protect these from contamination by animals or runoff (rainwater running in from the surface of the ground).
