I have learned how to adequately supply water to my house and drip irrigation 
systems from tanks only about ten feet above my house, with one system 
running right out of the tank to plants next to it.  If anyone is interested 
in details, just let me know.

Rain,

I am staying on a small farm here in Colombia where we receive our water via
aquaduct from a local spring into holding tanks approx 2.5m above the house.
As soon as we are able to replace the friable asbestos-concrete roof of the
structure, we are not intent on harvesting rainwater for sue or consumption.
I would be interested in knowing more about optimizing this system if you
have practical methods in place.

Thanks,

John Thomas Naisbitt
