There are many things to consider whether a water tank is beneficial to you. Climate change has resulted in a great deal more drought than has been seen in a very long time, and Australia is no different. For example, Melbourne has seen some of the lowest rainfall levels in years. But many ask why invest in a water tank if there is no rain? It's a good question, with a good answer - every household could benefit from having a water tank in a drought.
Of course, if you live in an area that sees absolutely no rain a water tank isn't going to benefit you. Inland areas of Australia are actually experiencing true droughts so a water tank might not be a great investment. But the majority of people live closer to the coastline which does get some rain to go with the drought, and remember for a water tank to benefit you it does not require a great deal of rain.
Much of the Australian coastline has been experiencing drier than normal winters with below average rainfalls, but even with just half of the normal coastal rainfall, you could keep your rainwater tanks full almost all year round. The key would be in having more than one, or having a large water tank.
For example, Melbourne is experiencing some of the strictest water restrictions because they have only had around only 400mm of rain in each of the past few years, some of the lowest ever. Likely, why Melbourne water tanks have grown in demand.
A slim polyethylene water tank can fit against the side of a house or a wall, which means you, won't be wasting space. Paint it to match the house and it will look like a regular wall. And if you choose a heavy UV20 polyethylene, it means a stable tank that's not prone to buckling.
It's important that you purchase water tanks that are at this thick. Others as thin as UV8 may be cheaper but they are not going to last. Some buckle the minute you add water, while others begin to buckle in only a short time. So much for a bargain. Rainhaven Melbourne water tanks are just one example of tanks that are UV20. Buy quality and save yourself a great deal of trouble. You don't want to lose your water because of a leak and you certainly don't want the mess a leak can cause.
Another common question is "what can I use my rainwater that I trap in a water tank for?" Glad you asked! There are many uses for your rainwater collection. The most obvious is to keep your garden and flower beds alive and healthy. With such heavy watering restrictions in play, gardens and flowers have no hope of getting the water they need.
Your water tank can also be a source of household water with just a simple plumbing connection that your plumber can do. Oh yes and if you cannot live without that swimming pool, you can use your water tank as a source of water for that pool.
Now that you know why a water tank in a drought makes good sense, it's time to consider making the investment.
