Here is a series of articles previously published by RainBank, on how to build a rainwater collection system.
The first post in the series focused on how all rainwater collection systems begin at the roof and gutters. Regardless of purpose, i.e. irrigation, supplementation or drinking, debris must be removed before storing rainwater.
The second, third, fourth and fifth posts in the series talked about tank types, tank sizes, how to keep water clean and kinds of filters to consider for your system.
In post six of the how-to build a rainwater collection system series, we cover managing aesthetics so your system fits into your landscaping design.
