Last week, we had the distinct honor of installing a 1550 gallon above ground cistern on an outdoor classroom at The Marine Resources Research Institute (MRRI) facility at Fort Johnson near Charleston, SC. There was a classroom presentation followed by a "field" visit to the cistern for the participants to view. We met many folks from various occupations that were all interested in implementing rain water collection in some form or another. The cistern at SCDNR will provide drip irrigation to the native landscaping as well as overflow into a rain garden. It is a truly superb system and the best part is the fact that it requires no electricity to function.
Thanks to all that attended and hosted this great event. The cistern can be viewed and is on display. See map.
