When I think of cisterns I think of collecting rainwater and all 
those above ground swimming pools around homes on the dry side of the 
Big Island of Hawaii.
I'm sure you'll find some information on water at these links. I 
really like the manuals from Texas and Hawaii

A google search on 'rainwater harvesting' brought a good bit of 
information. I couldn't find the Australia rainwater manual..

Hope this helps.
