 Nice 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?
 Storage 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.

Helpful and concise Jul 18, 2009
Having no prior familiarity with the topic of this book, I read it with the hope of obtaining a general understanding of the process of storing water and in particular for the intent of learning about concrete tanks for residential use. The book is only 119 pages, but is 8.5 x 11 and packs a lot of content into that small space.
Simply stated, this book is about residential water storage. It outlines a variety of ways in which water can be safely stored and then specifies the advantages and disadvantages of each. For my interest, the book was an excellent primer on concrete tanks. I had a general conceptual idea of what I thought I was looking for and this book helped expand the details; such as the design for the cover on the tank, the inlet and outlet, valves, gauges, etc.
If you are looking for a book that is a good general guide on how to do water storage - this book will likely satisfy your needs. The writing style is fluid and easy to follow and there is no technical language requiring any prior knowledge of the field.
informative reading Jun 01, 2009
This is an excellant book on PRACTICLE WAYS OF STORING WATER. FOR THE REALLY HANDY PERSON SIMPLE METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION, EVEN A NOVICE WITH GOOD AMOUNT OF ENTHUSIASUM WOULD BE ABLE TO CONSTRUCT A SMALL VESSEL .. WHICH IS MY CHALLANGE... A SERIES OF SMALL WATER VESSELS EACH A LITTLE HIGHER THAN THE LAST SO CAN OVER FLOW DOWN THROUGH THE SYSTEM.
