Our under ground water catch is 5 separate tanks.
10 inch thick concrete held together with plastic mesh and no metal re-bar . They are fully enclosed with baffles .Each tank is on a grade so each valve or set of valves can be opened or closed so facilitate an even level.In addition we have on a slab 3 above ground cinder block round tanks with fero cement lining interiors all under roof like barn .They are open with shade cloth covering so no algae or molds build up .The 3 above tanks are 12,000 gallons each.
It was my husbands idea and has served us well over many many decades.
