Abstract

This guide will assist on how to build a small water tank which can be used to store spring water, rainwater or water pumped from a stream or dam. Small water tanks can be constructed from many different materials such as corrugated iron, bricks or masonry, or even steel plates or plastic. Ferro-cement techniques are relatively cheap, easy to learn and need only materials which are readily available in most areas.
