RW-RH

Rainwater Harvesting System

A complete rainwater pathway from roof catchment through pre-filtration, storage and project-selected treatment, designed around rainfall, catchment area and the intended water use.

Source pathways to review

Start with the water that is actually available.

Roof catchmentMultiple-building catchmentSupplementary bore or municipal top-up where designed

System architecture

Build the operating system around storage.

01

Catchment and gutter capacity reviewed against local rainfall intensity

02

Debris screening and first-flush strategy coordinated with roof and environment

03

Storage sized from rainfall pattern, catchment area, demand and required autonomy

04

Treatment selected according to potable / non-potable use

05

Overflow, drainage and top-up strategy defined in the system design

Project inputs

What we need before the configuration is locked.

Roof catchment area and material

Local rainfall data and seasonal dry periods

Daily water demand

Intended water use

Tank location and overflow route

Available power and distribution method

Operations + maintenance

Design for the people who will run it.

Keep roof, gutters and screens clean

Inspect and maintain first-flush components

Prevent cross-connection with other water systems unless properly designed

Schedule tank inspection, sediment management and treatment maintenance

Project resources

Carry this configuration into a controlled project package.

Project specification control

Rainwater storage should not be sized from tank preference alone. Catchment area, rainfall distribution, water use and acceptable shortage risk control the useful storage volume.

Final storage volume, material, potable-water evidence, treatment process, pump duty, structural design, foundations, controls, installation, commissioning and destination requirements are confirmed for the exact project configuration.
