Re: water catchment




Probable the most effective and inexpensive way to accomplish this is to 
build ferro-cement tanks.  We are cosponsoring a ferro cement workshop at 
the build here now conference in June.  We have a couple of Brazilians 
coming to build a large ferro tank in two days.  They are very good and can 
produce a five thousand gal. tank in that time.
