Usage:
There is less drinking water every day and it becomes more precious. Therefore, its use for flushing toilets, washing clothes and watering gardens is highly inappropriate. Rainwater tanks are containers buried in the ground which collect rainwater flowing from the roofs, which is then pumped into the pipe system for use
- The required tank size = 0.06 x annual rainfall
- The annual rainfall = roof surface x annual precipitation (0.8 m3 / m2) x 0.8.
Rainwater can be used for:
- Flushing toilets – 8m3 per person/year.
- Laundry – 6 m3 per person/year.
- Cleaning – 2 m3 per person/year
- Watering the garden – 6 m3 per 100 m2 area of the garden.

Operation:
Rainwater flows through gutters from the roof into the shaft for cleaning. The water in which no major hard particles are found is collected in a tank. Once the container is full, excess unused water overflows into the filter or surface water. Water is pumped from the tank using a submersible pump or booster pumps. Level switches ensure supervision of the water level and turning on pumping system.
Installation:
Rainwater tank is buried in the ground on transit or non-transit surface. The terrain around the cap has to be cleaned so that larger solid particles do not fall into the tank.
