US Patent:
5239794, Aug 31, 1993
Filed:
Apr 29, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/875875
Inventors:
John M. Klein - Southeastern PA
International Classification:

US Classification:
521696
Abstract:
A habitable structure has a ground-supported, water-impervious floor and upright foundation walls which together define an open top water enclosure. Flooring is supported on the foundation walls essentially covering the open top. Roofing is supported above the flooring so as to define a habitable space between the roofing and the flooring above the enclosure. A catchment system collects rainwater from the roofing and other sources and conducts it into the enclosure where it is stored for future use. The enclosure formed by the foundation walls and floor is modified to permit use as either a water storage tank or habitable area itself.
