An underground cistern does sound good. I have to admit I haven't gotten that far yet, though. I have the barn completely designed and I'm already starting to put together bids from locals on building it. I know I'll be putting gutters in and catching all the run-off water, but exactly how and what is something that I think I'll contemplate after the structure is up and I have a chance to see it in real life.
The barn is going on one of the highest spots of our land, so this means that a lot of gardening can be done below the barn and gravity can deliver the water down.
An underground cistern does sound very intriguing...
