Rain barrels are great for water conservation, but not necessarily so great to look at (unless you were in Chicago this summer). So for those who want something different, meet the Waterwall Fatboy Tank, a super-sized 650-gallon rainwater tank. The cool part is, even though it holds a lot of water, it's less than 2-feet wide so it's still easy to fit into small urban spaces.
Collecting rainwater in your backyard or on your roof top helps reduce storm water runoff, which helps keep sewers from overflowing during heavy rain. And since for many, about 40 percent of summer household water use is for the lawn or garden, it makes sense to put rainwater to good use.
The Fatboy lets you save much more water than your average rain barrel. It comes in four colors so you can attempt to make it blend in or stand out in your backyard. And you'll get everything you need to keep the water working for you from two taps to a mosquito-proof leaf strainer. Wondering if you could even collect enough water from your roof to fill the giant tank? Try the Waterwall Tanks' website calculator to find out.
