holding tanks
Temporary liquid storage
Holding tanks are containers for temporary storage of liquids or waste until they can be processed or disposed of properly.
Boats and RVs use holding tanks for sewage.
Industrial facilities use them to contain wastewater before treatment.
The term extends to any temporary containment: Immigration detainees were kept in holding tanks at the border facility.
