Stormwater harvesting<\/a> is a supplementary water source and adaptive management strategy to help reserve water for future use. This infrastructure offers significant benefits in times of water shortage as it provides an alternative water source to the water network \u2013 reducing strain on public water supplies.\u00a0<\/p>

While stormwater harvesting won\u2019t eliminate water shortage or prolonged drought periods, it does offer a buffer of stored water that provides a sustainable, cost-effective strategy for resiliency against dry weather. This supports our water network in times of scarcity \u2013 and allows the capture and storage of any rainfall experienced during dry weather cycles, which would otherwise enter stormwater drainage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sustainable infrastructure ensures our communities are resilient to dry weather, drought periods, and weather phenomena such as El Nino and La Nina.\u00a0<\/p>

By reducing the demand for potable water and council water supplies, stormwater harvesting allows the design of developments that adapt to Australia\u2019s cyclic weather patterns of dry and wet weather.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
