Garden Tour: Rainwater Harvesting Tank
We hope you enjoy my little garden tour from a couple of years ago. Andrew being able to work with his property and put in small-scale water harvesting systems has been a game changer.

Very nice!
Beautiful
Your greenhouse tank is perfect for that application. Tall and narrow. The "solar battery" is quite real. Absorbs (cools the air) during the hottest part of the day. and radiates heat (warms the air) as the greenhouse cools down. A gentle temperature moderator for a space that can experience wild swings in one solar cycle. Excellent teaching video.
Planning on adding rain water barrels to my greenhouse house next year…
Every house… Yes… Every house in rural India had/has wells. Not deep-drilled bore-wells, but wide-mouthed personal or community wells. They essentially stored run-off water. Met all community needs and more. Don't know why or how deep-drilling caught up with us here.
Now villages are running out of water in summer. This seemed impossible only 10 years ago.
Beautiful design nevertheless, sir.
