If you ever get the chance to visit the Lady Bird Johnson
Wildflower Center in Austin, TX (where I used to work, now
part of the University of Texas system) you can see the
nation's largest rainwater collection system.
There is a picture on that site that shows the stone-veneered tank at the entrance.
. . . the beautiful and massive spiral observation
tower (that houses all the construction debris from
initially building the campus--a great idea--instead of
filling a landfill) that is also a cistern.
I am currently building 500 feet of water lines in the front yard. One ditch area--where the leak was--dug very easy and I went deep. Wonderful spot for future archeologists to sort through my refuse.
