With drastic changes in weather conditions, due to global warming, water is fast becoming a precious necessity that needs to be addressed as well as protected worldwide. Offering a solution, Dutch designer Bas van der Veer has come up with an innovative rain barrel named “A Drop of Water” that possibly filters and stores rainwater in a watering can, which can further be used (not too sure if it is potable) to water your home garden. There is a small tap at the bottom of the barrel that allows controlled watering, without over-spilling or wasting a drop. Featuring a compact design resembling a water drop, the Drop of Water can be installed in smaller gardens or even balconies to collect the rainwater to be used in arid conditions.

从屋顶流到花园里的一滴水
随着天气状况的剧烈变化，由于全球气候变暖，水已成为宝贵的资源，急需在全世界范围内引起重视并得到保护。为了解决这一问题，荷兰的设计师 Bas van der Veer 提出一种创新的雨桶，名为“一滴水”，可以在一个浇水桶内过滤和贮存雨水。这些雨水能再次被利用（还不确定是否能饮用），以灌溉家庭菜园。在桶的底部有个小水龙头能控制水流量，不会溢出或浪费一滴水。其特点在于类似一滴水的简洁设计，“一滴水”能被安装在小庭院甚至阳台，来收集雨水用于干燥的天气条件。
