2Not helpful  Jun 23, 2010
I've bought this book because I wanted to know how we could manage the overflow from our tank and store this overflow water in various ponds and the like. This book didn't help at all because it only refers to big projects and states that the contractor will know how to build the dam wall. I didn't find anything helpful for our situation.
Furthermore it is written like a school book, kind of boring.

5water storage  Apr 20, 2010
great book on water storage. sometimes a little technical but the average person can understand what is going on. great book on storage of water

4Nice compendium of info and illustrations  Mar 19, 2010
Water is our quiet crisis, much greater than fuel. Ironic that GM is spending billions to develop hydro-fueled cars, when by the time they get them to market, we will have clean water more costly than carbon fuels are now. This book is a good how-to manual explaining the construction of water storage components and pros and cons of each design. I especially appreciated the pictures. The book was so good in fact that a friend swiped mine and I'll need to get another copy. Perhaps that should rate the book 5 stars?

5Storage we need  Nov 17, 2009
I enjoyed this book, and it had some great ideas. The big expense for all of these is not so much collecting the rain, even in the desert where I live, but storing the rain. The secret to saving water is storage, storage, storage. We are not talking rain barrels here, but as the author points out we need large storage capacity. He has great advice on purchasing tanks, building tanks etc. but even building your own is way out of my price range for now. Still, I really enjoyed the book and can't wait until the day I can build one his ideas.
