Water Tank Guides is an independent, research-based resource for homeowners, property owners, and rural residents in the Phoenix, Arizona area who want practical, accurate information about water storage.
Water storage in the Sonoran Desert isn’t the same as water storage anywhere else. Extreme summer heat, monsoon storms, haboobs, and a mix of well-water and municipal-water households all shape how Phoenix-area residents need to think about water tanks, rainwater harvesting, and water storage systems.
Most information available online is either too generic (written for a national audience with no desert-specific detail) or comes from companies trying to sell a product or service. We wanted something different: a straightforward, independent resource focused purely on giving accurate, useful information — no sales pitch attached.
Every article on this site is researched and written to be genuinely useful, not just to fill space. We reference credible sources — including University of Arizona Cooperative Extension publications, local water authorities, and established water-management organizations — and we update our content as regulations or best practices change.
Water Tank Guides does not sell water tanks, pumps, or installation services, and we don’t have a financial relationship with any specific manufacturer or contractor. Our only goal is to help Phoenix-area residents make better decisions about water storage.
