ground catchment system (with treated earth / with a land surface catchment area) Explanation: This is the same as a "cisterna calçadão", but without the "calçadão": http://www.barriguda.org.br/projetos/cist_enx.php A Cisterna de Enxurrada não tem o calçadão. A própria terra é utilizada para captação da água. http://www.coopervidarn.org.br/downloads/Manualdocisterneiro... It is a ground catchment system but not with a concrete surface, but using earth (that is, with a land surface catchment area): http://www.gdrc.org/uem/water/rainwater/introduction.html (Figure 2) http://www.clean-water-for-laymen.com/collecting-rain-water....
