Not yet published, nor yet available

Cisterns harvesting runoff from rooftop catchments have the potential to harvest the highest quality rainwater runoff on site and allow for the greatest range of potential uses for that water. Water uses range from irrigation to fire protection, bathing, washing, maintaining natural creek and spring flow in dry times, and potable water for drinking.

Building on the information presented in Volume 1, this book shows you how to select, size, design, build, or buy and install cistern systems harvesting roof runoff. Guiding principles unique to such systems are presented along with numerous tank options and design strategies that will improve water quality, save you money, reduce maintenance, and expand the ways you can use your tanks and the water harvested within.
