Ecological Design home/office 3500 litre rainwater tank As the Sydney Desalination plant ramps up operations again, using approximately 5 kWatts of energy for each kilolitre of water desalinated, at Ecological Design, we are back on 100% rainwater thanks to our first good rain in 2 months in Newtown. We’ve had over 40mm so far, while in the same time, the catchment has received so little rain that the combined stored volume continued to drop - now down to 54%.
With a full 3500 litres in an above ground tank and 3000 litres in a bladder tank under the floor at the home/office, we can now go another month with no rainfall before we need mains water again.
This big difference between the rainfall on eastern suburbs roofs vs in the dam catchments is the reason rainwater harvesting makes good sense in Sydney.
