Abstract

The Australia-ASEAN Council of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through Swinburne University of Technology implemented the project, “Australian Design Rainwater Tanks for Households and Schools in the Philippines”. The project involved working with relevant local counterparts for proper design, installation and management of rainwater tanks for effective rainwater harvesting from schools and households in Philippines. A Local Government Unit staff and rainwater tank supplier and installer from the Philippines visited Melbourne to learn more about the storm water management projects by Knox City Council, SouthEast Water and the water supply treatment plant operated by Melbourne Water. A rainwater tanks manufacturer in Melbourne was also visited to keep inform of the latest design, proper installation and management of rainwater tanks. The project also involved the installation of rainwater tanks to schools and households in Dimasalang, an island municipality in the Philippines. Data collection on water consumption from rainwater tanks is in progress.
