thread--Thanks!!

_______________________________________________________________________
Our non-profit organization, Youth With A Mission, is building a base on 
the Hawaiian island of Kauai. We have a serious water problem. The 80 ft 
well that was drilled is unable to provide the quantity of water we need. 

We are only 12 miles from Mount Waialele, the wettest spot on earth that 
gets an average 452 inches of rain per year. We need help in designing a 
water catchment system with the existing buildings. The sort of questions 
I have are things such as;


1) Can we drink water off of asphalt shingle roofing, tin roofing?

2) Do we need special filters?

3) What sort of storage systems are available and recommended?

4) Are there formulas we can use to estimate our capacity?
