I've been scratching my head on this one, too. With the recent storms, we collected a TON of water on our walk-on pool cover. I have to pump it off using a sump pump. I pumped some into a spare plastic garbage can I had, that took all of 5 minutes and barely made a dent (the total volume took over 24 hrs to pump off). I pumped a lot more back into the pool (under the cover) but most of it had to just go down our drainage ditch which feeds SR creek, ultimately. I just sat there shaking my head wishing I had somewhere to store at least some of that water. I was spending money (electric sump pump) to pump precious (and quite clean) rain water down the drain. I didn't have time to go shopping for a collection tank, as I needed to get that water off the pool cover. But I'd like to look into getting something for next time. My "collection" method is great (big flat pool cover) I just need a storage tank that's not too ugly to put in the back yard somewhere.

EDIT:
I just found this link:

They have links to local equipment suppliers.
