I see, sorry! I thought it was UK forum. Waterbutt is used to collect and store rainwater, often it is attached to downpipe, many local councils give them away for free in England, to encourage people to use rainwater to water their gardens, there are some with more attractive design, with hosepipe attachments, timers,etc
