Use Sump Pump Output Water on the Lawn and Garden?
The part of Wisconsin where I live is in a moderate drought. Voluntary water restrictions may be implemented soon.
At the same time, my basement sump pumps are pumping periodically, and the pumped water goes right into the storm sewer, per local codes.
It would be easy to capture the pumped water in a modified rain barrel and use it for watering my plants and garden. Can you think of any reason why that would not be a good idea?

It sounds like a good idea to me, unless you can think of any toxic things that could harm your plants. I doubt you would have anything like that coming out of a basement sump pump. Iowa is having the same dry weather you are, it's hot and dry.
