Interactive Sizing Tool[edit]

The Sustainable Technologies Evaluation Program have produced a rainwater harvesting design and costing tool specific to Ontario. The tool is in a simple to use Excel format and is free to download.

The Treatment Train Tool[edit]

Once the size of cistern has been determined, it can easily be modelled in many open source and proprietary applications.

In addition to the cistern size, modelling requires <btnPrimary>The Treatment Train Tool</btnPrimary>

Tank used to store rainwater (typically roof runoff) for later use.

The practice of intercepting, conveying and storing rainwater for future use. Captured rainwater is typically used for outdoor non-potable water uses such as irrigation, or in the building to flush toilets.
