Water is undoubtedly an invaluable resource, much too valuable a resource, in fact, to continue to let it run-down our drains and roofs only to let these precious go to waste or worse contribute to ongoing land flooding problems which are unbeneficial and unwanted.

It has become a very common practice for the majority of Australia’s households, especially those maintaining a garden, to collect rainwater for varied use. Many of us may well love summer, but our gardens loathe it. Needless to say, if you are growing cultivated plants and flowers in your courtyards, collecting and storing rainwater for summer use is already a tremendous help for your garden to outlive the heat.

Water restrictions are additionally common in Australia’s communities; collected rainwater certainly can make a difference for your garden to make it through the summer. Rainwater harvesting is probably not the clear-cut and total solution for today’s household water usage; however, with the dire need in every aspect of life it’s easy to see the value in every drop saved.

The main component of any water harvesting system is the storage tank itself, and thereby appropriate technical understanding is needed to discern which type of tank to use, style of installation and maintenance to be carried out. Purchasing one and installing it just for the sake of it is not enough justification, especially with the costs involved. Proper planning must be initiated. Understanding and putting focus on the volume of water you plan to collect along with the proposed uses of said water are a few of the needed points of planning you must cover before committing.

Water tanks for courtyards are certainly one great choice to households with a capable courtyard area or to homes with minimal roof space. The use of stored water is not only limited to helping the garden out on hot days, but can also be it can also be used to clean the garage, flush your toilets, clean cars, and wash your clothes. Though these possibilities can be limited depending on your courtyard size, and the tank to use. Fortunately, there is a multitude of options to answer these needs.

To begin with, here is a variation of tanks suitable for courtyards:

• UNDERGROUND TANKS: In some cases underground tanks are referred to as ‘decpods’ or ‘underdecks’. These types of tanks are best suited for scaled down courtyards, and perfect for homes with constrained roof space. Underground tanks are simple to set up and require minimal upkeep. For smaller area households too, forget about worrying, there is still a chance for you to benefit from rainwater harvesting as these underground tanks deter the big area implications required by above ground water tanks.

• SLIMLINE TANKS: Comparable to the underground type, slimlines are another solution to help out households that have a limited area of free space. Slimlines can easily fit into smaller areas impeccably without restricting the level of storage you will acquire. These water tank types can without difficulty fit around a section of your home to ensure that it takes up only minimal space. Having fewer complications with installation is yet another advantage for this kind.
