Rain barrels

Holy moly does water come off the roof! We had one good rain yesterday and we went from bone dry to overflow. I filled up four gallons for watering our seedlings and baby chicks. It's going to rain again today and then again later in the week. So much water and so little to do with it! We can't drink it or use it for cooking (it's not just rainwater, it's runoff from the roof... bird poo, dirt, all that good stuff). If anyone has any suggestions on how to make lots of water useful, I'm all ears.
