Have you thought of building a one? A concrete one?
Someone did it recently in his shags. I'm not sure about the capacity but it was quite huge.

Some guy has built one in Kite abt 20,000 capacity. He is also able to tap rain water into the same tank...maybe they can make according to your spec..Roto tank You cant win, unless you first begin....

Alternatively build a stone wall encasing underground plus a foundation to fit a particular plastic size tank. When it is cured and dry, drop the plastic tank inside and seal well..worked for me.

@Kamundu, Alternatively, you can do an underground stone water tank and have the volumes you need at the same cost as a plastic tank. The stone one would last longer if well done and water always cool. "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." Goethe

In high density urban areas without trunk sewers, water table is quite high thanks to effluent from neighbouring septic tanks. As such some masonry underground water tanks are always full i.e. ground water seeping into the tank through invisible joints on tank walling due to pressure. Perhaps this would explain why @And1589 would rather you installed a plastic tank inside a pit with masonry walling…

Stuff from Septic tanks nearby can seep into a well done underground stone tank? Wanted to do one in such an area but you make me think thrice. I happen to have a normal stone tank back at Oocha which I remember was done using those Quarry stones, not Machine cut that come from Juja. Plaster and finishing was very well done and its never leaked water out. I am Just thinking why the tank is still strongly holding water full - with no seeps yet you say an underground one will suck water from "outside".. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..

What matters is the quality of the workmanship esp the materials quality (eg good sand without soil) walling & plastering. I have two with a combined volume of about 60,000ltrs and do not leak. They are however not cheap to do. "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." Goethe

@kamundu. did you get a solution? I intend to purchase a plastic underground tank, any leads? "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore
