Water collection options

Hi Smiffy,

Yes, that's along the lines of my thinking. And its using the same gravity feed trick.

Your pond idea is a good way to keep the reservoir hidden in lain sight.
If you're not fussed about possible loss of grid electrical power, then this is probably the best option. It could also store a larger volume of water than in IBCs, without drawing too much attention.

Second pic is pretty impressive, and pretty scary. That's 6 tons of water he's got sitting there, supported on what appears to be 8 4x4 posts. He's a braver man than me, that's for sure.
