Rainwater Harvesting from Atlantis Corporation

spring hill enviro cottage and matrix tank installation

Spring Hill Enviro-Cottage, Qld, Australia

One of the primary objectives of the Spring Hill "Enviro-Cottage" Project was to recycle and reuse, being as water self sufficient as possible. Tanks are a crucial element of this strategy and on a tight inner-city block the best option is to "bury" tanks where possible, releasing "ground space" for other uses.

The Project makes use of 5 underground tanks:

2,000 litre greywater holding tank
4,000 litre greywater output tank
23,000 litre rainwater tank
3,000 undergarden rainwater tank
Small overflow sump tank

Atlantis® Matrix® tanks are used to construct the main underground tanks. This system provides spatial flexibility to ensure maximum available water volume is captured and stored. Rainwater can fall onto the courtyard, being filtered through the grass, soil, river sand and geotextile layers into the tank, clean as a whistle, ready for kitchen and bathroom use.
