Water Storage: Tanks, Cisterns, Aquifers, and Ponds
Author / Issuing Authority: Art Ludwig • Category: Home Systems, Solar & Water Engineering
Engineering manual for sizing, plumbing, freeze-proofing & sanitising emergency water tanks, IBC totes, wells & fire cisterns.
Why This Manual Matters in a Grid-Down Outage
Storing 1,000L to 10,000L of emergency welfare water for a clinic, logistics depot, or commercial estate requires proper bulkhead fittings, algae exclusion, frost protection, and biofilm control.
Plant-Room & Field Operational Takeaway
Exact plumbing diagrams for linking multiple IBC totes in parallel, calculating gravity head pressure (PSI per metre of elevation), and shock-chlorinating stored water.
Maintaining a physical dead-tree edition of Water Storage: Tanks, Cisterns, Aquifers, and Ponds (ISBN-13: 978-0964343368) in your plant room, comms rack, or site incident grab-bag ensures engineers and duty wardens have immediate access to statutory tables, pinouts, and safety protocols when cloud documentation portals and corporate intranets are unreachable.
