What are some possible problems when using a rain barrel?

First, what will you use the rain water for? Drinking? A rain barrel is a great place for germs, bacteria, mold, algae, and other things you wouldn't want in your body. Water to wash with? Same problem, although you wouldn't be as likely to get sick. Irrigation? Probably o.k. but in my area, mosquitoes are a big problem so standing water is a big no-no. Even if the barrel is covered, mosquitoes will get in. My roof gets very dirty, so unless you get a lot of frequent rain, you will the roof muck in your water. What if the barrel fills up? Will the extra runoff be a problem? When my barrel overflows it goes into the basement and that isn't good. It all depends on what your alternatives are.
