Well it looks like spring is reluctantly arriving, and soon the wonderful monsoon season will bless us with abundant precipitation. (I know.... what an optimist!!!) The Santa Fe New Mexican recently had an article suggesting that we are in a 30 year mega drought, and although they say it is common to have wet years within this drought, never-the-less we are in about year 10 of it. Now that is really good news (not!). But the good news is that here at Santa Fe Rain Barrels we have many tanks, cisterns, totes and rain barrels for all New Mexicans who are ready to conserve water. You will find that we are selling our water conservation products at similar or lower prices than anyone else in northern New Mexico, and we offer FREE Santa Fe area delivery! Many sizes are in stock, so give us a call, because once the monsoons come we will be slammed!

Spring time has come back around, even though it appears that the weather is still deciding whether or not it is ready to leave behind the winter cold.  With the melting of snow and ice off our roofs, now is an ideal time to collect water, especially in anticipation of the possible dry months lying ahead of us.  Santa Fe Rain Barrels is back in full swing, providing rain barrels and other services to various stores and businesses in the Santa Fe and Albuquerque area, as well as individual clients.

We currently wholesale to a number of nurseries and other businesses in the area.  Although the majority of our clients reside in the Santa Fe and Albuquerque area, we also wholesale to Taos, and an individual distributor in Las Cruces.  We offer our wholesale rain barrels at a discount price, as long as the buyer has a store or business and is buying at least twenty barrels at a time.  Anyone with a business in sustainability, landscaping, irrigation, and water catchment, can benefit from the interaction, as those who we are currently selling to have.  Wholesale rain barrels in Santa Fe and Albuquerque can be a good opportunity for many local businesses. 

Although it may not hit you with the water that comes out of the sink at the turn of a nob and the many green parks and lush yards that scatter our cities, the American Southwest is a dry, arid desert. If you live anywhere between Southern California and New Mexico, don't be fooled by the illusion of our seemingly water-sufficient climate.

Although it may not seem like too big of a threat from the safety of our water-laden homes, this issue will not be going away any time soon. Water doesn't fall from the sky(at least very often) in the Southwest. In a recent article online, writer Alex Steffen describes the situation as being dry and getting dryer with almost no way out of it. The rivers have less water, the sky is not dropping enough water, and hotter years are predicted to be on the way.

So, is there anything we can do to help prevent the landscape of tumbleweeds and cactus from taking over our homes and communities? Can we continue to survive in this relatively harsh living environment?

Although we cannot be certain as to what will come to pass, there are things that we can all do to conserve water that go beyond the basics of quicker showers and more drought resistant plants, even though these things play an important role as well. The concept is simple: when the water comes, catch it! I've seen people use anything from buckets to trash cans to, water troughs. As rain barrel distributors, we are catering to you. Together, we can insure that our homes have reliable Santa Fe Rain Barrels or other water harvesting systems, so that we can continue to maintain our oasis in the middle of the desert.
