Default Keep the water butt half full/empty?

It has occurred to me that perhaps I should keep half emptying the water
butt and chucking the water on the grass so I don't waste the water coming
off the roof.

Any downside to this strategy?
[Apart from doing it whilst it is still raining.]

The downside is that you don't know when the rain will stop.
