It’s an 80l trash can.

The inverted lid has small holes drilled in them and act as the rain collector.

Two more pairs of holes, at the edge of the lid and into the container, together with some string keep the lid from blowing away.

    It’s always bugged me that cities use this excuse but then they pave roadways and parking lots with drainage basins that shoot that water directly into the nearest river as fast as possible creating more impact than if every household had ten of these barrels.

    Plus a lot of the time people collect rainwater to water their gardens instead of using city water so it’s just delaying the input of the water into the system.
