Summary

Proper water storage can be used to cover peaks in demand, smooth out variations in supply, provide water security in cases of supply interruptions, meet legal requirements, codes, improve water quality, and provide thermal storage and freeze protection. Information is provided on types of water storage available - tanks, ponds, groundwater; how much is needed, where to install it, how to properly plumb it, which accessories would benefit a home, farm, or community, and how to sustainably manage aquifers. Practical design solutions, comprehensive illustrations and an abundance of photos help readers make informed decisions on what type of storage would work best for them. Original design innovations, real-life examples, and complete instructions for constructing tanks from ferrocement are also included.
