　　Do you know it takes 110 gallons of water to grow one pound of corn？Watering your garden from a hose(水管)can use 3 to 10 gallons of water per minute.If you’re planning to start a garden or green lawn(草坪)，you could easily end up increasing your water bill and water consumption.Rain barrels(圆桶)are a great choice to help you save money.

　　In addition to catching rain water that would otherwise go to waste，rain barrels reduce water run off that carries pollution to our lakes and streams；it controls the level of humidity around the foundation of houses and reduces water bills.The water collected by rain barrels is not good for human consumption，but it can be used to water plants，fill pools and wash your cars and gardening tools.It can be also used for bird bath and fountains.
