My make shift rain catchers to harvest rain water in the Arizona desert

Rain water harvesting in 5 gallon buckets

Here is some fun we had a few weeks back with some  extra 5 gallon buckets we had in the garden. I stuck a 5 gallon bucket under the newly installed rain gutter in the front yard about every 10 minutes. I was able to quickly fill the six buckets with rain water. This was just for fun, although it does make me want more 55 gallon drums for real rain water harvesting!
