Rainfall and Collection in Melbourne
“What’s the point in having a rainwater tank when it never rains?”
Talk to pretty much anyone about getting a rainwater tank and the chances are that you will hear this question. Rainfall in Melbourne has decreased over recent years but the current low dam levels are a combination of reduced rainfall and increased usage driven by population growth.
We have collected data, and put together some graphs to help our customers visualise the current rainfall patterns in real terms. The average Melbourne home has more than enough roof area to take advantage of the current precipitation levels and provide you with plenty of water to help you fill your tank.
