When a water tank The cheapest storage of all is below to use the groundas storage area, it is a technique called a cisterngroundwater recharge. Among It is accomplished by letting rainwater infiltrate in the different storage types are the [[underground tank]], [[ferro-cement tank]], [[plastic-lined tank]], etcground. The size of the tank is recharge will locally lead to a compromise between costhigher water table, from which water can be pumped up when needed. Whether the volume of infiltrated water used, raises the length of the dry season, etcwater table in a local area or is spread across a wider area depends on soil conditions.
