This paper provides an overview of some key observations from the research program into the quality of water supply from rainwater tanks conducted over the last decade. The research journey provides some key insights into water quality processes in rainwater tanks and highlights the need for continuing scientific endeavour to replace myths and agendas with facts about this important water source.
Dr Coombes has spent more than 30 years dedicated to the development of systems understanding of the urban, rural and natural water cycles with a view to finding optimum solutions for the sustainable use of ecosystem services, provision of infrastructure and urban planning.
The Essential Rainwater Harvesting Course was created by Peter Coombes of Urban Water Cycle Solutions (https://urbanwatercyclesolutions.com) and Michelle Avis of Verge Permaculture (https://vergepermaculture.ca). First recorded in 2020, a large majority of the course is now being released, for free, on YouTube as part of our shared mission to educate and spread information on rainwater harvesting as widely as possible.
