Why is a six-meter cube impractical? Lots of people have that much space on their property in America, and you could easily make it taller/narrower and put most of it underground.

Impractical for small suburban lots/homes. Quite feasible for larger properties. Of course water would probably be used as it’s readily available. Or maybe dirt /sand?

Water is best, Dirt and Sand would be impractical. But we have to think about the fact that the Storage system together would be the size of two large cars. The issue with storage would be most problamatic and so would the cost of building these tanks. It could easily ho upto 20,000 dollars for two tanks if not higher.
