Cistern Water Use Urged By Agriculture Dept
The United States Department of Agriculture urges broader use of well built cisterns for household water. Key points include airtight construction, screened inlets, removal of the first rainfall, a proper sand and charcoal filter with downward flow, a bottom waste outlet, and periodic cleaning of the cistern and filter. Charcoal dosing and roiling water offer little benefit and can be unsafe.

Water filtration for emergency cisterns and sand beds
The text explains emergency water filtration as a supplement to proper construction. It describes above ground barrel or tank filters using uniform sand and well burned charcoal to purify rainwater before entry into cisterns. Details cover bed depth two feet, a six inch charcoal layer, grain size, and maintenance by scraping or replacing sand when clogged.
