Bob,

You might check out the new book Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands: 
Guiding Principles to Welcome Rain into Your Life And Landscape by 
Brad Lancaster.  Brad is a water harvesting guru.  I am sure that 
there will be some ideas in there for you.

As for the square building, I would need more information, but would 
be glad to chat with you either off list or on the phone as we are 
doing a lot of rainwater harvesting designs here in (Oh my gosh we 
haven't had rain in 130 days) Phoenix.  It is waking people up.
