Im looking for information about water cisterns and rain water gathering. i remember reading about some sort of permiable plastic blocks which are set inside of a sheet plastic enclosure.

if this rings a bell, please let me know.

also if you know something about this, how do you keep insects and small amimals from eating throught the plastic envelope?

i am considering building this cistern near the calif-arizona border in a place called cibola.

thanks for any info

I think the product you are thinking of is Raintank. I think we are using it for our rainwater catchment system for our new house. It's a little cheaper than a PE (polyethylene) tank - and eaiser/cheaper to ship. They are modular and you put them together yourself depending on your desired capacity. We are going through Blue Ridge Atlantic Enterprises (BRAE) out of NC. Check out their GREAT website at www.braewater.com

BTW - I can't get my links to work - even after switching from Plain Text to HTML - can anyone let me know how to do make my links work? Thanks.

I too think you are thinking of Raintank but I am not sure. Can you give us more info so we can be sure? Your links are working just fine for me ;0
