==Suitable Conditions==

The Horizontal cistern is suitable in areas with rocky ground, where it is not possible to dig deep enough for a vertical cistern.

  {{procontable | proborder="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" align="center"|-! width="50%" style="background:#efefef;" | Advantages! style="background:#ffdead;" | Disadvantages|-| valign="top" | - A water truck can simply let water fall into the tank by gravity – no pump required <br>

- Water can be directly pumped into a household storage tank with an EMAS pump <br>

- 7000l tank with pump costs 70$ in Bolivia <br>

- Temperature underground is more constant – cracks are likely <br>

- Does not require ground to be firm, like the vertical cistern. <br>

| convalign= "top" | - More complicated to build than a vertical cistern <br>}|}

==Resilience to changes in the environment==
