While I'm beginning to see the point of creating a more elegant rainwater collection system, urgency moved me last night. After a week of no rain I was out of rainwater. But today was supposed to rain and it did. So I arranged my barrels and spare buckets to catch what I could.
I certainly won't get any points for ingenuity for the following, but I needed a quick and cheap overflow mechanism:
Near the top of the white barrel I bored a hole and fed a length of garden hose from it into the blue barrel. It works quite well. The blue barrel is over half full at the moment.
