Abstract:
1. A plastic water reservoir kit for use in water conservation for installation in an aquifer consisting of granular material comprising: a generally cylindrical chamber comprising at least two plastic arcuate segment members each including upper and lower portions, said members nested in one another during shipment so as to reduce the overall size of the chamber and being field assembled on-site into said chamber, said upper portion of said chamber defining a top opening, at least one of said arcuate segments having at least one knockout for selectively creating openings in said chamber, said arcuate segment members including integral plastic latch mechanisms for securing said segment members together; each arcuate segment member formed from a water impermeable wall having vertical edges for mating with another arcuate segment member; a lid for closing said top opening; said chamber having a water permeable portion for permitting water to flow out of said chamber and preventing aquifer granular material from entering through or clogging the flow, whereby water is collected in said chamber for subsequent controlled distribution.
