A cistern is a waterproof receptacle designed for storing water, typically rainwater or groundwater. Its primary purpose is to collect and hold water for domestic, agricultural, or industrial use, especially in areas where water is scarce. Cisterns help in managing water resources efficiently, promoting water conservation, and providing a reliable supply during dry periods. Additionally, they can aid in reducing runoff and erosion by capturing excess rainwater.

How do you build a wooden rain cistern?

A wooden rain cistern is constructed very similarly to that of a whiskey barrel. However, those of us that have the equipment and knowledge to build a rain cistern (if we wanted to) know that the cost of the materials for a wooden cistern let alone the time to build it would cost considerably more to construct than purchasing a plastic or concrete water cistern. So if you are asking your question for the purposes of cost of a cistern, plastic and/or concrete are the way to go.
