cisternista

A cisternista is a person who maintains and operates a water cistern. Cisterns are tanks used for storing water, typically collected from rainfall or other sources, and are commonly found in areas with unreliable municipal water supplies or for specific purposes such as irrigation. The role of a cisternista involves ensuring the cistern is clean, free of debris, and functioning correctly. This can include regular inspection of the storage tank, cleaning out sediment, and monitoring water levels. They may also be responsible for the intake system that fills the cistern, such as gutters and pipes, and the outflow system that distributes the water. In some cases, cisternistas might also manage water treatment processes if the stored water is intended for potable use. The specific duties can vary depending on the size and complexity of the cistern system, as well as local regulations.
