If you are looking for a way to reduce water runoff or flooding in your yard, rain barrels could be a great option. Rain barrels were often looked at as obsolete technology for rainwater management, but in recent years they have made a comeback. Historical records show that rain barrels have been used as far back as 2,000 years, in Thailand. Rain barrels also have a history in the United States. Wooden barrels used to be one of the best ways to ship goods across the country. After the goods were unpacked, they were often put under roofs to collect rainwater like we see today.
