You Can Never Have Too Much Water
Water Catching and Usage Factors To Consider
Fire Reserve
This is a volume of water that is always readily available in the event of fighting fire. Commonly this can be up to 20,000 litres.
Irrigation
When looking to irrigate, factors such as water source, harvesting capacity, and usage volume will all need to be considered.
Water Source
Harvesting water from a roof, filling up from a bore or dam will impact the size of tank that will be most optimal for you.
Harvesting Factors
The size of your roof catchment area, in addition to your annual rainfall will determine how much water you can harvest.
Domestic Usage Volume
Having an idea of what domestic functions you intend to connect to your tank and how often each will be used will be advantageous.
Total Volume
It's better to have water and not need it, than to need water and not have it. It may pay to install a bigger tank to mitigate running out of water.
