Tucson Rain Jar ProjectTucson Rain Jar Project. Water-saving ideas from rural Thailand inspired the Tucson Rain Jar Project. Thai jars were traditionally constructed by filling a large bag with dirt, wrapping it with chicken wire, and covering the outside with a thin layer of cement. After the cement dried, the dirt and bag were removed. We learned from and modified these techniques to come up with a rainwater cistern that can be built from scratch here in our desert backyard.
