== Storage == Storage can be either underground or above ground, including cisterns, tanks, and barrels. Container materials include clay, plastic, and galvanized steel. To avoid algae growth tank should be stored away from direct sunlight and should not be transparent. Placement of tank is also important, in order to take advantage of gravitational flow, it should be placed at an elevated area. In order to reduce the distance that needs to be traveled by water, and therefore avoid contamination, tanks should be placed close to area of use. (City of San Diego, 2007).<ref>City of San Diego.

Retrieved from http://web.archive.org/web/20180903164253/https://www.sandiego.gov/water/conservation/rainwater.shtml</ref> Materials utilized for water storage can be plastic, fiberglass, or concrete; interior should also be lined in order to make sure that the storage tank is watertight.<ref>Governor, Bob T., and Nick J.
