Using Rain Barrels for Water Collection

Using Rain Barrels for Water Collection: "Why Harvest Rainwater with Rain Barrels?
Rain is a naturally soft water and devoid of minerals, chlorine, fluoride, and other chemicals. It is usually collected from the roofs of houses and picks up very little contamination when it falls. You can harvest a surprisingly large amount of rainwater from your gutters with one or more rain barrels. Instead of letting the water flow down your driveway and into a storm drain, you can collect it.

Because harvested rainwater does pick up some contamination, you need a good filtering system before it can be used as potable (drinking) water. Many cities require the filtration system to be certified and the water to be tested on a regular basis. However, you do not need a filtration system for landscape uses. You can use it directly from your rain barrel on your garden.

The most obvious reason for harvesting rainwater is to save money. Even if you live in a rural area and have your own well, the well water may be hard enough to justify harvesting rainwater. Have you ever washed clothes with really hard water? There are other reasons as well. "

History - History of the wine barrel

History - History of the wine barrel: "History of the traditional oak wine barrel

A wine barrel is a cylindrical container usually made from oak historically used for the storage and transportation of goods. Today barrels are used almost exclusively in the production of fine wines and spirits. The bulge, or bilge, of barrels means that they can be rolled and spun easily, and that, when they are kept horizintal, any sediment naturally collects in one place. This allows for easy removal of the solids from the wine, or racking, during the wine making process.

Barrels come in many sizes and qualities although the term barrel is conventionally used for a wooden container small enough to be moved. Although Herodotus refers to palm-wood casks being used to carry Armenian wine to Babylon in Mesopotamia, it is generally accepted that it was the iron age communities of Northern Europe, notably the Celts, who developed the wooden barrel for large transport of goods."
