Our project goal was to implement rain barrels in the Main South neighborhood to reduce stormwater runoff. Using a suitable design for the neighborhood, we produced a manual and taught the Main South Community Development Corporation how to build rain barrels. We recommend the MSCDC install the rain barrels in the spring and distribute our manual to the community.
