Cistern

 

A Cistern is a receptacle for holding liquids, usually water. Often cisterns are built to catch and store rainwater. They range in capacity from a few liters to thousands of cubic meters.

This cistern at the entrance to the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse captures water from the roof and releases it to a rain garden.

VP Supply Corporation in Syracuse supplies Jay R. Smith rainwater harvesting systems, which include filters, pumps, pipe and a cistern for collecting rain water. Contact VP Supply at (315) 425-6207 or visit their web site at www.vpsupply.com .
