Urban Myth - 28.01.10

“It is all good to get rainwater tanks but because of the drought we will never get enough water to fill them”

As the following anecdotal evidence proves one of our customers received 687mm of rain in 2009 which is a whopping 87mm above the average annual median rainfall in Melbourne. And we are in the worst drought for 100 years!!

If you do some basic maths you will see that you have a massive potential to capture a lot of rainwater. Let’s assume that this customer has 150 square metres of roof catchment.

Every mm of rain per square metre of catchment = 1 litre of run off.

So, 150 x 687mm = 103,050 litres of water. Now that’s a lot of water just going down the drain!!
