Recycled Rain WaterThis is a featured page

Recycling rain water to water plants: realistic conservation.

As part of our "greening" we would like to put a rain barrel in our atrium to catch and use rain water.

We have a decent collection of plants around the library. If we caught rain water, we wouldn't be using tap water for these plants.

One concern I would share is mosquitoes. Are there rain barrels out there that somehow prevent mosquitoes from using them as nesting sites?

e.

I suppose a container that somehow held the water below a layer of material would do the trick, keeping insect eggs out. that and a little vigilance toward emptying the barrel.
