But not just for gardening: in the days we live in, it would be wise to have a secondary source of water in case of a power outage…dip a bucket into one and our into a toilet to flush
In the times we live in ….it is simply wise to do this
If you have a black Berkey water filter(water purifier) or an aqua pure water table top gravity filter, you can take a bucket of water from rainbarrel and use it fill top chamber of water filter to make your own perfectly good potable drinking water from rainwater
There black berkey is used by Red Cross, UN, Missionaries, relief workers, and many service organizations worldwide and is trusted. I am not selling a water filter only mentioning it for benefit of others in the times we live in. No moving parts, too simple to fail.
Most homes have at least 4 downspouts…every downspout if an opportunity to place a water capturing cistern underneath it…

Black are 40
Spigots are available installed: new USA made poly foodgrade hose spigot valve $25 installed leak free
Dual coarse(hard plastic) and fine (fine mesh) top filters are available for black colored rainbarrels :add $20 for the pair
