Abstract | Total water cycle management (TWCM) discussion mostly limits the role of residential rainwater harvesting to providing an alternate water supply to a fraction of fit-for-purpose end uses. However, with operational improvements, greater outcomes can be achieved. By increasing the portion of roof area connected and developing adaptive rainwater diversion (ARD), reliable stormwater management outcomes can also be achieved. ARD controls tank drawdown by adapting to changes in dwelling consumption and rainfall, thus allowing the available storage to mimic the pre-urbanised catchment storage recovery. The ARD approach has the basis that mains water savings can be achieved in two ways: 1) Rainwater supply - where the rainwater harvest is used directly to reduce |
