    Thank you so much for posting. I live in the united states but I am wanting to create a water catchment system so that I do not have to pay for or depend on municipal water systems. This was a very comprehensive , well spoken, very informative, and well thought out video. You have answered my questions of being able to build my own cistern and how to Seal it. Thank you again. All love and God Bless

      Charlie Chong - Cement dust is one thing, cured concrete is something else. Totally different and inert in most cases.
      Analogy can be made for example between fresh paint or cured paint. The first can be full of nasty vapors from thinners, etc. in it's dry form you use it on tables chairs, etc. where you can have direct contact. Hope it helps. :-)

    I have a vague memory of bio gas dome being built at my home using similar method . That was some 20 years ago. I plan to build a shallower and larger diameter water tank for keeping fish as a hobby. I was looking for a how to video on this subject to refresh my memory and learn more about this method of tank construction. That is how I came across this one. This video is very informative and covers the subject in a detailed fashion. Thank You for your effort.

    Water is life and this is a brilliant idea to make durable water reservoirs to harvest rain water. Before drinking, need to check if there is any harmful chemicals as lead, arsenic, etc. in the Cement used. Thanks.

    Rebar and mesh can be substituted with bamboo, it's remarkably resilient. Thomas Edison had a bamboo reinforces concrete pool that held water for 90 years

    • @johnlee7085
      @johnlee7085 7 років тому +1

      Can you make a hope out of bamboo? With real thin strips? That would seem like a lotta lotta work. The rebar really doesn't contribute to the strength of the structure. It just helps to create the form. The strength comes from the tensile hoop strength of the mesh.

This video now shows me how to build what I need. Although my shape is more like a giant "U" and will be partially inground this has been just what the Dr ordered. So, thank you for makinging it and sharing it too.

    • @johnlee7085
      @johnlee7085 7 років тому +3

      The cement is inert once cured. Not toxic at all. There are cement lined pipes in some municipal water systems, and not a problem. There are regulations in many places about rain water harvesting, especially for potable use. It can be very onerous if allowed at all, though not necessary scientifically. Just political.

    • @withwingsaseagleeyes
      @withwingsaseagleeyes 7 років тому

      +Charlie Chong,
      That is talking about Cement Dust. Where would this Cement dust be after the cement is cured?
      Added:
      "Cement industry is involved in the development of structure of this advanced and modern world but generates dust during its production"
      So after construction is done, rinse the dust away, no dust any more unless someone grinds the hard cement.

  • @buzzwerd8093
    @buzzwerd8093 8 років тому

    Some time see if a couple of layers of welded-wire metal fence can do for the rebar.
    Just for kicks, try a model with local fibers weaved into a wire basket frame and concrete that up. If it works, it will be cheaper than all metal.

    • @buzzwerd8093
      @buzzwerd8093 8 років тому

      *****
      With fibercrete they mix fibers with concrete, usually fiberglass.
      Anything you can make a strong lasting rope out of should do for fiber. Chop into short pieces and mix.
      Look up papercrete on UA-cam, so many lbs paper ground into water mixed with less weight of concrete makes papercrete. Stronger fibers should make stronger results?

    • @buzzwerd8093
      @buzzwerd8093 8 років тому

      *****
      You could weave thin bamboo or splits into a thick bamboo frame and fill with concrete or small-fiber fibercrete.
      Suppose you made a boat hull and filled the weave with canned foam instead? It would need a stronger skin at the least.
