Rainwater storage tanks may host sustainable microbial; such systems are found in areas where a potable water source is not available enough. Two types of tank material are used for the harvested rainwater systems in Souk Ahras city: concrete and plastic; eighteen (18) samples were collected and analyzed for different time scales for both types of tank materials: one week, three weeks and three months. Pathogens such as: Salomonella, Yeast, Mould spores, Faecal Coliforms, Streptocoques and Faecal Coliforms have not been detected in rainwater samples for all tanks, however the concrete tanks were shown very interesting resistance against the growth of the aerobic germs, where 99.7% of the germs were eliminated until the third weeks, but the opposite behavior was recorded after this period.
