5.0 RAINWATER HARVESTING AND RE-USE
Runoff from approximately 7,532m2 (80%) of roofed areas will be directed to
a rainwater harvesting tank to be located beneath back-of-house areas at the
south-western corner of the site.
Captured rainwater will be utilised for landscape irrigation and swimming
pool top up.
Alta Projects have developed a water balance model in eXcel format which
models tank inflow and outflow over a ten (10) year period of historical
rainfall data from 2013 to 2024 at Tewantin RSL Weather Station.
Tank performance was modelled utilising the following reuse parameters: -
• Landscape irrigation = 1.5mm/m2/day
o No irrigation for one day after 1.5mm of rain or more
• Daily Pool top-up = Evapotranspiration – Rainfall
Results appear below in table 5.1
Table 5.1 Water Balance Model Results
By inspection approximately 80% reliability on rainwater reuse for pool top
up and landscape irrigation may be expected with a tank of 300m3 total
volume installed.
Refer Appendix G for full model.
