Rain tanks and cisterns are stormwater infrastructure that serve as a daily visual reminder of a community’s water conservation commitment. When stormwater runoff catchment is utilized within community and urban planning, it helps achieve other central goals such as energy savings, climate emissions, and fire protection, making it central in watershed planning approaches, also known as permaculture planning.

An important reminder for DIY’ers is that every inch of rain that falls on 1,000 square feet of roof will produce over 600 gallons of water. This means that rain tank systems require a thoughtful overflow route! Native Water Systems designs safe systems at any scale with thoughtfulness for easy, long-term maintenance.
