The bigger the volume of the storage tank, the lower the material demand (and thus costs) for construction per m3 of tank volume.
In Southern Africa, US$ 320 for a system with 11 m of galvanized iron gutter; a 1.3 m3 galvanized iron tank; downpiping; tap and filters; cost does not include transportation. Where roofs are not suitable for water harvesting, the cost of roof improvement and gutters will have to be added to the cost of a tank. Such costs varied from US$ 4 per m2 (Kenya, subsidized) to US$ 12 per m2. <refname="WHO 1">Brikke, François, and Bredero, Maarten.
