RHA at the International Water Association Conference

In September, RHA presented at the International Water Association Conference in Melbourne. We were proud to deliver two papers:

Can Water Efficiency Reduce Your Household Water Bill? Co-authored by Prof. Peter Coombes and RHA

• Showed how water efficiency reduces household water demand
• Avoids costly utility network expansions
• Research demonstrates that infrastructure savings directly reduce household water charges

Managing Rainwater Tanks as Assets

• Rainwater tanks can supply around 30% of household water use in Australia
• Treating tanks as managed assets ensures long-term benefits
• Smart monitoring is an emerging tool for measuring yield and performance reliably
