==Cistern dimensions==
[[Cistern dimensions.jpg|thumb|The blue area indicates the only usable volume in this rainwater harvesting cistern, the depth between the pump inlet and the overflow.
The connections into and out of a rainwater cistern can have a dramatic effect on the actual usable volume. The only usable water within the cistern is that above the height of the pump intake, and below the invert of the overflow outlet. This dimension can easily become constrained where the outlet must lie beneath the frost line and where a high powered pump is required to elevate the water many storeys. Communication and understanding between design engineers is paramount in large installations.
