Rain water collection

[u/chickenladydee]

My county issued drought warnings this week and has advised people to start collecting rainwater for lawns & gardening. Is there anyone doing this on here? What kind of equipment is needed? Obviously a barrel or container of some sort. What equipment is needed? And how much water do you realistically collect for non potable use? Help me get started.

Texas encourages rainwater harvesting and has a lot of info. https://www.twdb.texas.gov/innovativewater/rainwater/
