However, it depends on the roof area and amount of rain that is being fed into the downspout you installed your Rain Barrel under:
1" of rain on a 1,000 sq foot roof = 625 gallons of rain water = .625 gallons per sq foot.75" of rain on a 1,000 sq foot roof = 469 gallons of rain water = .469 gallons per sq foot.5" of rain on a 1,000 sq foot roof = 313 gallons of rain water = .313 gallons per sq foot.25" of rain on a 1,000 sq foot roof = 156 gallons of rain water = .156 gallons per sq foot
Example: A 1,000 square foot roof equally divided between 4 downspouts would create four roof areas of 250 square feet. 1" of rain on a 250 square foot roof area would result in 156 gallons of rain water. 0.25" of rain on the same 250 square foot roof section would result in 39 gallons of rain water.
