The rain barrel - was used in the past to collect rain in the united states and canada. This same rain was used for bathing and washing dishes and clothes. Especially when there was a shortage of water. Today rain barrels are not used by most people in the U.S. or Canada. Although there are some people that still collect rain barrel water because they like the way it smells and leaves clothes smelling fresh. These are generally people that live in deep rural areas.

Today there are even accesories being sold for rain barrel water, as is that of the barrel pump or the barrel bag.
