A rain barrel is a container used to collect and store rainwater that would otherwise be lost to runoff and likely diverted to a storm drain. Collected rainwater may then be used to water lawns and gardens. Cuyahoga SWCD regularly offers rain barrel workshops throughout Cuyahoga County where residents can learn more about the importance of rain barrels in supporting water quality in Lake Erie then build their own barrel to take home and install.
