Water Tanks in Perth: How Do You Ensure the Drinkability of Rainwater?

The use of water tanks in Perth to collect rainwater may help cut your water bills, serve as an alternative source of clean water in times of drought, and help save the environment. Depending on tank size and climate, rainwater harvesting can replace mains water use by as much as 100 percent. This, in turn, can help reduce water infrastructure operation costs, protect remaining environmental flows in rivers, and make existing dams and desalination plants more efficient. Rainwater collected from a well-built and well-maintained water tank system can be suitable for many domestic uses, including drinking. Bear in mind, however, that tank systems need to have additional features like first flush devices and UV filters to provide potable water. You can also follow the tips below if you intend to use rainwater for drinking to minimise the health risks for you and your family.

Water Tanks in WA: 3 Great Tips to Keep Your Tank Clean and Efficient

Australia is said to be the driest inhabited continent on earth. Water is a scarce resource, how well this resource is managed is a concern for all Australians. In the continent’s urban areas, up to 90 percent of rainfall can flow into the stormwater system. It’s no surprise that people are looking for a way to collect all that rainwater and find a better use for it, instead of simply letting it drain out to rivers and the ocean. The rainwater can be saved and managed through the use of high-quality water tanks in WA, such as those manufactured by Rainfill Tanks and Curved Roofing Supplies. If you’re thinking of having a rainwater tank installed, remember you will need to regularly carry out certain maintenance tasks to keep the tank in pristine condition.

WA Rainwater Tanks Let You Use Your Sprinklers during a Sprinkler Ban

By 1 June, the Water Corporation will have enforced a Winter Sprinkler Ban (WSB) in Perth, Mandurah, and select areas of Western Australia. This yearly prohibition on the use of irrigation systems is in line with the state’s water conservation efforts every winter, during which time the seasonal rainfall is enough to keep every lawn irrigated. Under the ban, households and businesses are prohibited from turning on their sprinklers for more than two days (for scheme water users) or three days (for bore water users) per week. Watering days are determined by the last digit of the household or business’s street or lot number. Here are the possible scenarios when your street or lot number ends in 1:

High-Quality Perth Water Filters Keep Your Body Hydrated and Healthy

The human body needs to stay hydrated since around 60 to 70 per cent of it is composed of water. Add to that the fact that temperatures in Perth can go well over 40 degrees centigrade, and you can easily understand why you need to constantly replenish water lost due to sweat and other normal bodily functions. Whilst you certainly need to drink water throughout the day, scientists say you do not necessarily have to meet the widely touted daily requirement of eight glasses. Although nutritionists don’t have a one-size-fits-all figure for fluid intake at this point, the eight-glasses-a-day myth has since been debunked.

Perth Raised Garden Beds: Cultivating Tomorrow’s ‘Green’ Leaders Today

Gardening is a fast-growing trend amongst primary schools all over Western Australia. As early as 2013, The Sunday Times reported, 40 per cent of the schools within the state have incorporated gardening into their curricula. Professor Amanda Devine from Edith Cowan University reports that tending to garden beds in Perth broadens children’s horizons, makes them less fussy, and teaches them lifelong skills as well. This uptick in interest in gardening was driven by a multitude of factors, most notably obesity. A 2014 report by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare stated that 25 per cent of children under 10 in Western Australia are overweight or obese. Experts warn that without prompt intervention, their unhealthy lifestyle will most likely follow them into adulthood.
