• Every drop of rainwater is precious whether there
  is a water crisis in your state or not. We know
  that the fresh water is a tiny percentage of the
  total water available in the world. Hence, it is
  vital to preserve and conserve it.
• Rainwater harvesting has become quite popular in
  Australia in the recent decades. People install
  harvesting system in the backyard and enjoy
  uninterrupted water supply throughout the year.
• In the rainwater harvesting system, tanks play a
  critical role. One must know about the different
  types of tanks available.

  and their characteristics.

Domestic Underground Tanks

• They are suitable for the internal use and
  gardens. The storage capacity ranges between 1000
  to 5000 liters. Getting further big tanks on
  order is possible.
• Domestic tanks are either box like or
  cylindrical. The material is either PE or GRP.
  The tanks made by PE are manufactured in the
  mold. Hence, the size is fixed.
• GRP tanks can be made of any size or shape. These
  tanks can be strengthened to make them suitable
  for a deep excavation if required.

A few precautions required to install these
underground tanks

• Anti-backflow mechanism
• A calmed inlet to avoid turbulence while the
  water enters the tank
• Trapped overflow
• Rodent barriers if required

Commercial Underground Tanks

• These tanks usually are made using GRP, and they
  are he in size (up to 10000 liters). Sometimes,
  more than one tanks are linked if the volume goes
  beyond a certain limit. Some tanks are made from
  pre-cast concrete or reinforced plastic.

Above-Ground Tanks

• From plain, simple tanks to elaborative models,
  you can find the whole spectrum of above-ground
  tanks. The tanks are simple to install, you need
  a strong base and firm level, though.
• From a few hundred liters to large, the one-piece
  molded design gives long-lasting service.
• If you want these tanks for the domestic purpose,
  then there should be sufficient space in the
  backyard. An upright PE tank is the perfect
  design in such case.

Special Above-Ground Tanks

• Sometimes, rainwater tanks need to be installed
  in a basement or somewhere within the building.
  If the size is enormous, then the tanks are made
  in sections and assembled onsite by experts.
  These tanks are rarely used, though.
• You should ask the rainwater harvesting expert
  about the type of tank suitable for your
  requirement.
