Description: Water-saving ideas inspired by rural Thailand . Rain jars are traditionally constructed by filling a large bag with dirt, wrapping it with chicken wire, and covering the outside with a thin layer of cement. After the cement dried, the dirt and bag were removed.
Teachers learned from and modified these techniques to come up with a rainwater cistern that can be built from scratch here in our backyard.

A model of rooftop water collection is cost effective, environmentally
friendly, artful and aesthetically pleasing, while — perhaps most important — building community between friends and neighbors.
