Rain chains generally also make it incredibly simple to collect and reuse rainwater. You can guide the chain directly into a rain barrel or trough to save water for the dry summer months. Many clever gardeners are even using them to guide rainwater directly into a bird bath or miniature garden pond, giving local wildlife and pollinators a beautiful place to drink and thrive.
