As mentioned in:

Why use a rain barrel?

It helps conserve water (read more about reducing water usage).
It reduces harmful water run-off (read more about run-off).

You can calculate the number of gallons your rain barrel can collect per rain fall using the following formula:
Square footage of roof x 0.6 inches of rain = Total gallons you can collect from one rainfall.

Tips

Connect a hose to the overflow valve of your rain barrel to divert water away from your foundation.
You can also connect a drip line to your overflow valve to water your garden. However, due to the lack of pressure stemming from the overflow valve, you will have to drill holes (no more than 3) in the drip line to allow water to escape. Drill the 2-3 holes progressively larger, starting from the overflow valve.
To prepare for winter, partially empty the rain barrel and either remove the hose from the bottom to allow for water drainage or to leave the shut-off nozzle on the hose open. Or, drain the water fully and cover the top so no new water can enter the barrel.
Purchase a diverter from your local hardware store to connect the downspout to your rain barrel.
If your ground is not level, you may need to build a foundation for your rain barrel. A foundation can be constructed from bricks, wood or flat stone.
