Rainwater Harvesting: From Water in the Sky into Water Tanks in Perth

Although rainwater harvesting methods have not changed much throughout the years, the hardware and materials being used certainly have, be it gutter guards or water tanks in WA homes. Patrick Dupont explains each step of the process and what it takes to harvest rainwater efficiently in his article for Your Home: Australia’s Guide to Environmentally Sustainable Homes. What’s in it For You? Obviously, harvesting rainwater enables you to maintain an alternative water supply that you can tap into during crises or drought. The practice can lessen your dependence on mains water lines by up to 100% and thereby reduce your water bill. These outcomes would depend on the size of your tank and the climate conditions in your locality, however. Meanwhile, lower demand from the mains could in turn lessen the need for new dams, reduce infrastructure operating costs, and help reduce local flooding.

Perth Rainwater Tanks: Do the Math, Figure Out the Correct Capacity

Given the dry climate and sweltering temperatures typical of summertime in the region, it comes as no surprise that households in Western Australia, particularly in Perth, consume millions of litres of water every day whenever they shower. About 25 percent of household water, in fact, goes to showers or baths, according to a Water Corporation spokesman interviewed by WAtoday. In this drying climate, authorities urge the public to conserve water, whether by replacing inefficient showerheads or shortening the daily shower time to four minutes. It would also make sense to invest in sustainable and long-term solutions that address water shortage issues.

Rainwater Tanks in WA Help Keep Urban Development Effects Beneficial

As the population grows, demand for basic needs, e.g. food, housing, and water, continues to rise. Supply must accordingly keep up. In some instances, resources from different areas may be diverted to sustain the basic needs of a certain locality. This is exactly what the north-eastern suburb of Ellenbrook faces right now. Years of unprecedented growth have made the local water supply all but inadequate. Around 11,000 households are being supplied by a reticulated water system designed to serve less than a tenth of that figure. As of this writing, however, the Water Corporation is laying down expansion plans to improve water distribution.

Top-Quality Perth Water Filters Help Keep Homes and Buildings Green

Western Australia's flagship in the green campaign cost around $17 million to build and was constructed with sustainable materials. The edifice gets a full six stars from the Green Building Council of Australia, which requires structures to be sustainable and serve as role models for future projects in their communities. One of the definitive features of the Green Skills Centre is its rainwater retention capability, thanks to its two subterranean rainwater tanks that have a combined capacity of 150,000 litres. The building also has separate tanks for black water, one 11,000-litre tank for collection, and two tanks with a combined capacity of 38,000 litres for storage.

Raised Garden Beds in Perth Can Help You Lead a Healthier Lifestyle

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare recognises that obesity rates nationwide continue to rise. Clearly, many Aussies need to start living healthier lives. A good way to do so is to incorporate more fibre in their daily diet. There is recent science to back this up. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical School found that adults who ate 30 grams of fibre daily for a year saw a vast improvement in their health. Consuming the daily recommended intake of 25 to 30 grams of fibre daily can reduce the risk of colon cancer and other digestive tract diseases.

Perth Water Tanks Guarantee Adequate Water Supply during a Bushfire

Homes in the City of Swan came close to being razed to the ground by a bushfire early January, which claimed more than 5,000 hectares of forest. With the help of 50 km/h winds and the Perth heat, the fire swept across lush vegetation. Fortunately, a contingent of firefighters were able to fight off the blaze, as well as ember attacks in the suburbs. Should another bushfire of this magnitude happen again, not even adequate defensible space will be enough to defend the home from a fire. In times when firefighters need access to water lines, there's no guarantee that homes will have running water to fight off the blaze. In addition, power interruptions may render pumps inoperable in a bushfire.
