The tanks are usually covered so that the water is safe from any external pollution, debris, bird dropping or insects.

While the tanks come in various forms and sizes, a typical rainwater tank has a capacity starting from 400 litres, and it can go up to 100, 000 litres (100 to 25, 000 gallons, AU). You can choose the size and shape of the tank based on your need for storage and house size.
