Never divert water under a structure unless the plan is approved by a licensed engineer! Water should be diverted away from, and around, the house. This requires that the earth around your house be sloped away from it. If this is not feasible, drainage ditches should be constructed or install drainage pipe with yard inlets. Depending on your exact situation, maybe you need a french drain or sump pump.

When it rains why would water run in from back of my basement?

all ground around your house should be sloped away from the house, my guess is that water running off the roof is hitting the ground and draining back toward the house. you can regrade the area or install gutters to divert the water away from that side.

How does the water get in a water tank?

Generally water from the under ground is transferred to the water tanks. This is done using water pumps that suck the water from the ground, then there is a divert system that removes contaminants from the water and purifies the water and then passes it through the pipes and cisterns that connects the pump to the water tank.
