Variation in the end use changes if a tank or system will be an open or closed design, what materials it will be composed of, as well as where it will be located. Below is a list of different tanks and cisterns based on different end uses, material availability, and costs.\n\n<gallery>\nFile:100 2163.JPG| [[Rainwater catchment at Pedregal#Tanks|Rainwater catchment at Pedregal]]<br>Ferrocement Tank covered in clay lime plaster for aesthetics\nFile:100 0315.JPG| [[Rainwater catchment at Isla Urbana#Storage Tank on Roof for Water Pressure|Isla Urbana's Roof Storage Tank for Water Pressure]]<br>Gravity provides water pressure for end uses\nFile:100 2074.JPG| [[Rainwater catchment at Pedregal#Utilizing Sloped Terrain|Petegral's Open Rain Catchment]]<br>Open tank catches filtered storm water and is used for irrigation.\n</gallery>\n\n{{Page data\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n| keywords = Rainwater harvesting, Rainwater, Water, Irrigation\n| sdg = SDG06 Clean water and sanitation\n| description = Tanks and cisterns in rainwater systems are covered on Appropedia, comparing designs, materials, and siting that keep stored water clean and useful.\n}}\n\n[[Category:Rainwater]]\n[[Category:Water]]\n[[Category:Irrigation]]"}
