She is doing many of the things I know can be done and am considering doing here on my little "ranch" in time--when only the very wealthy can afford such things are clean water! What a fine example of self sufficiency-and the build around, is very cozy!! We have 2 small rain barrels that each hold 30 gallons, they can fill easily in about 5 minutes of rain...I want to install a 500 gallon tank much like the one in your photo. <br />(for the curious look up Michael Reynolds Earthships in Taos, NM, they put the water storage UNDER the house and it helps with cooling as well)Sondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485055844682296876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31383424.post-28592477085467797932010-10-30T07:16:06.810-06:002010-10-30T07:16:06.810-06:00Is this near Concho?

One square foot is 144 square inches, times 1 inch of rainfall, is 144 cubic inches. A gallon is, by definition, 231 cubic inches. 144/231 = approx. .6234 gallons. I would think that if you could capture 100% of the rain that fell on the roof, that is the maximum you could capture. Of course, you can't capture 100%. Some will be lost do to absorption in the roof, and some lost due to evaporation. From what I've read in other places, I would think you might be able to capture 85% of what falls - putting it closer to .53 gallons or so per square foot.<br /><br /><i>Correct me if I'm wrong, but I just don't see how it's mathematically possible to gather .67 gallons per square foot. (And I'm assuming we're talking about square footage with respect to the floor area, not actual surface area of the roof. Actual area of the roof would make the amount gathered even less, since the roof is sloped, causing more surface area, but the rain falls straight down.)</i><br /><br />Oh, I should mention - aside from the math, I LOVE IT! :)Joshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31383424.post-88350890939363556142010-10-29T19:51:07.511-06:002010-10-29T19:51:07.511-06:00I am so very proud to call this woman my Mother. ...I am so very proud to call this woman my Mother.
