Whenever someone asks about cisterns, I recommend this:

Schroeder, Erich K.
1991	"Brother Farmer... Build You a Cistern": A Comparison of Cistern Construction Methods as Revealed in the Historical and Archaeological Records. In Landscape, Architecture, and Artifacts, edited by E. K. Schroeder. pp. 103-119. Illinois Cultural Resources Study No. 15. Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, Springfield.

Unfortunately, I don't have a pdf.

A colleague of mine asked me to post this question.  I did not know of anything that succinct, but thought I would run it by you.

"Does anyone know of summary texts talking about the structure and chronology of American cisterns?"
