RE: Water collection options
Water Butts or IBCs for storage is fine. I buried three IBCs in the back garden but the water table was too high and they crushed them so they held about half what they should have. Having a few water butts is much better imo.
I have about 10 IBCs. i stacked them in threes and pairs and it was OK. I wasn't comfortable with the height though for either of them as I have visions of them falling over and 2/3T of anything isn't to be ignored. I pulled the top ones down and have them sitting singly now although I have plenty of space for that. If I didn't have the space they would still be stacked 2 high.
Regardless of what you use you should filter them if you extract drinking or cooking water from them. I have set up some sand filters for that very task to support the filters I have. I have plenty of water and the IBCs are for animal and gardening use but it doesn't hurt to have the kits to use it for drinking or cooking water.
