At first I was thinking of a system of tanks collecting ALL the rain water that runs off my roof and having those barrels connected to a collection line that would enter my basement and feed into a large storage container.
The storage tank would have a manual fill valve so that I could refill as needed from outside. This would be easy to set up, since I am re-doing my gutters this year. The problem is that the collection barrels I have now seem to collect a fair bit of dirt and who knows what else! Filtering would be required......
