Which of the following components of a cistern-based rainwater collection system is a part of the cistern itself?
  1. Collection gutters
  2. First-flush diverter
  3. Inlet screen
  4. Pump
Explanation
Answer: C - The inlet screen is a direct component of the cistern that provides additional protection from the introduction of debris or small animals into the storage system. Collection gutters and the first-flush diverter are placed prior to the rainwater entering the system. The pump is attached to pipes after the rainwater has exited the cistern en route to its final use.
