Domestic Rainwater Harvesting

Australia is the driest continent on the planet and people have to face a lot of difficulties due to shortage of water supply during the summers however with the help of domestic rainwater harvesting systems people have been able to overcome the water shortage problems, the dependency on mains water supply has reduced as a result of which there is good reduction in the monthly water bills too. There are a lot of advantages of having a rainwater harvesting set up installed at home. Sufficient amount of rainwater can be stored in collection tanks so that enough water is available during the dry spell. The rainwater tank is connected to the plumbing system and when the water in the tank hits low level the plumbing system can be connected to the mains supply.

Rainwater harvesting systems have significantly contributed in conservation of water. Many regions in Australia have observed increase in ground water levels. The main idea behind implementing rainwater harvesting system for residential area is that rainwater can be used for all those domestic jobs that do not require potable drinking water. It makes no sense in using mains water supply for flushing toilets, watering gardens and lawns, for washing cars etc. By using rainwater for all the tasks mentioned above one can save a lot of water. The stress on mains water supply will reduce and there will be a huge reduction in your monthly water bill amount.

The rainwater storage system setup is very simple. It requires a collection surface to collect rainwater. Generally, rooftop is used to collect the rainwater. It is very important that the collection surface should be clean and is not made up of any such material that can pass toxic elements to water. If the rooftop is painted one must ensure that it is safe for rainwater collection. Water is transferred from the rooftop to the rainwater collection tanks through pipes and gutter systems. The rainwater water remains inside the tank till the time there is any requirement for it.

When it comes to domestic rainwater harvesting systems, it is very important that the all the components of the rainwater harvesting systems should be clean and should not pass any contaminant, bad taste or odor to the water. The rooftop may be covered with dust, dry leaves dead insect etc hence the first few liters of first rainwater shower should be flushed and not stored as it would be containing all kind of harmful contaminants.
