Oh, and for rain water, just a barrel under where your gutter downspout used to be.... Of course you need to have the gutters first.

Be sure to filter that water. lol When I was a kid we caught water from the roof and when that got low we had it hauled from town. One time we came in from a few days away and I was getting some cold water to drink from the frige. It had mosquito larvae floating all in it. Another time I remember the water smelling like something dead. I believe a snake fell in and died. But I'm still alive and fairly normal. LOL
