The primary purpose of a foldable rain barrel is to provide homeowners and gardeners a source of soft, slightly acidic water that is typically preferable to city water (which may be chlorinated) or well water (which may have excessive mineral content) for irrigating woody and herbaceous ornamentals, as well as lawns. Rain barrels can also reduce the potential for basement flooding by directing water away from house foundations. In addition, rain barrels reduce the amount of water running into lakes and rivers, thus reducing erosion and helping prevent stormwater pollution of lakes and waterways.
The portable pop up foldable rain barrels work particularly well on smaller properties where plants can be watered directly from a barrel using an attached hose. Typically, rainwater runoff is collected in storm sewer systems and released directly into streams. This direct runoff can contribute to flooding in developed areas with a lot of impervious surface (like roofs, sidewalks, parking lots, and other surfaces that don't allow rain water to drain). This runoff carries with it pollutants that contribute to poor water quality that can affect the health of local waterways and even your drinking water. These issues are of particular importance in highly developed areas as more impervious surfaces cause more runoff during a rain or snow event. When you collect rainwater that would otherwise enter the storm sewers, you are helping to minimize the amount of stormwater that will directly runoff into streams.
A portable rain barrel won't solve the flooding issue by holding back all the stormwater, however it is a good start and it gets homeowners thinking about water conservation. Not only do rain barrels conserve water and control runoff, they can give you a good idea about the large amounts of stormwater that is shed from impervious surfaces.
