Melbourne,
Victoria Rainfall
Melbourne's
average rainfall is around 650mm. a year. The pattern is remarkably
even, with the lowest month (February) having 45 mm., and the highest
month (October) having 65 mm. In Melbourne, your water tank can
capture rainfall all year round.
Here's
how to calculate how much water you can collect from your roof.
Take the number of square metres of roof, muliply by the number
of millimetres of rainfall, to give the number of litres. e.g. If
you have 150 square metres of roof, and the average Melbourne rainfall
is 650 mm, then you could collect over 97,000 litres a year. A 10mm
rainfall would yield 1500 litres! In both cases, it's safest to
subtract 10% to allow for absorbtion, evaporation etc.
For
your information, here is the official Melbourne monthly average
rainfall graph, together with the average number of rain days, supplied
by the Bureau of Meteorology.
