I was also wondering why there appeared to not be a connection between the gutters and the tank...What is the source of the water? Why is it necessary to store in a big tank?

What are you going to irrigate? Lawn? Garden?

Where does this irrigation water come from?There is no connection to the gutter at all.
The tank is being fed by irrigation water.

How many gallons?The source of the water is a miners half inch inlet fed to the property at the far end of this pasture.
The storage tank is necessary as there isn't enough pressure occurring naturally to irrigate (more than 1 sprinkler) and when pumped the outflow GPM will exceed the inlet pretty substantially.
How many gallons?
This looks excessively complicated.
I'd find sprinkler heads that flow the 5 gpm each, a small jet pump, and a standard irrigation timer and valve manifold to turn one sprinkler on at a time. There would be no tanks (you're welcome) in this system.
Another approach would be about a 200 gallon reservoir tank, with level switches. When the tank is full the pump starts and everything sprinkles like crazy until the tank is empty, then the pump shuts down until it refills.
Note that you still don't need a pressure tank here. When the pump is on the sprinklers sprinkle, and the flow "Is What It Is" until you run out of water, then they quit sprinkling. It's not like a house where water needs to be constantly available at a relatively steady pressure.
A huge tank only makes sense if you can store water for most of a 24 hour period then apply it at the time of day that is best for the crop. 2000 gallons is too small for that.
That looks like some expensive water. How do you get water for your main house?
We only get light freezes.Excellent.
I assume you are not at an elevation and latitude where freezing is a problem.
