Rainwater Harvesting System Objectives
• Ranch management wanted to use rainwater to augment their well water supply system
• Main system is a 20,000 gallon cistern that collects from their 3,000 sf pavilion and pumps water to the existing well storage tank
• Two other structures collect rainwater into two 2,500 gallon cisterns to use for irrigation via hose bibs on the cisterns
