	The Homestead Cistern (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		A rainwater cistern is—as the name implies—simply a setup for collecting rainwater (usually the precipitation that falls on your home's or barn's roof) and storing it until it's needed in a (usually underground) concrete or masonry tank.
		All cistern setups can be divided into three components: [1] the water collection system (roof, gutter, and downspout), [2] the filter, and [3] the water storage vessel (or cistern).
		For optimal protection against contamination, the cistern's hatch door should fit tightly, the overflow should be screened to prevent small animals from entering, and care should be taken to locate outhouses, septic tanks, cattle run-off areas, etc., at least 100 feet away (preferably downhill) from the tank.
