Water Storage Planner

Step 1 of 714%

Start with the way you will use it

Let’s find the right tank for your property.

We will assess how the tank will be filled, calculate the storage required and match you with a ClearWater tank model from 27,784 to 408,508 litres.

What will the stored water primarily be used for?

ResidentialWhole-home, toilets, laundry or garden use AgriculturalLivestock, washdown, spray or farm use CommercialAmenities, operations, landscaping or production Fire waterA dedicated reserve or specified fire storage A combinationHousehold, livestock, business or reserve needs

Water supply

How will the tank usually be filled?

Choose the main water source for this tank. Rainfall and roof questions will only appear when roof catchment forms part of the supply.

Select the primary supply method

Roof catchmentRainwater from a house, shed or commercial roof Bore or damWater pumped from a bore, dam or other source Water deliveryCarted water or scheduled tanker deliveries Town or mainsConnected or topped up from a mains supply A combinationRoof catchment supported by another water source

Rainfall and roof catchment

How much rainwater could the property collect?

Use the guide below to choose the annual rainfall figure closest to the property, then enter the roof area that will feed the tank.

Choose the closest guide figure

500 mmLower rainfall 700 mmModerate rainfall 900 mmHigher rainfall 1,100 mmHigh rainfall

or enter a known figure

Average annual rainfall in millimetres An exact figure will override the guide selection above.

Total connected roof area

m²

For a simple building, length multiplied by width provides a useful starting estimate. How much of that roof will be connected?

Which buildings will contribute?

House Shed or workshop Commercial building Stable complex Multiple buildings

This guide provides an indicative annual collection estimate only. Rainfall varies between nearby properties and from year to year.

Bore or dam supply

Tell us how water reaches the tank.

The source name alone does not determine filling time. The most useful figures are the flow reaching the tank and the number of hours the system normally operates each day.

Which source will fill the tank? How is the water supplied?

Flow reaching the tank, if known Use a measured flow at the tank where possible, rather than the pump's advertised capacity. Flow-rate unit Typical operating time

Known daily supply, optional alternative

L/day

Use this alternative when the flow and operating time cannot be calculated reliably.

Does this source also supply anything else?

No, it is dedicated to this tank Household use Other livestock troughs Irrigation Other tanks

See what different flow rates could supply

Flow reaching tank	Supply over 8 hours	Supply over 24 hours
5 L/min	2,400 L/day	7,200 L/day
10 L/min	4,800 L/day	14,400 L/day
20 L/min	9,600 L/day	28,800 L/day
30 L/min	14,400 L/day	43,200 L/day
50 L/min	24,000 L/day	72,000 L/day

These figures show gross supply before household, livestock, irrigation or other water use is deducted.

A Tank Specialist will confirm the sustainable source yield, measured flow at the tank, pump operating time, pipework, elevation and refill reliability before the final quote.

Water demand

What does the tank need to support?

Household use

Number of people How will rainwater be used?

Livestock water supply

Add each livestock group separately so the calculation can account for animal class, lactation, growth stage and peak summer demand. These figures cover livestock drinking water only. Add dairy shed washdown, spray mixing and other operational water separately below.

Planning basis Peak summer demand is recommended for tank, pump, pipe and trough planning. Days each year stock rely on this supply Storage cover if inflow stops Allowance for future stock numbers

Other livestock demand, average

L/day

Use this for livestock classes not listed above or a known measured demand. Other livestock demand, peak

L/day

Additional daily farm use

L/day

Include regular washdown, spray mixing, machinery or other demand that must be supplied on the same day. Days each year this additional farm use occurs

How this is calculated: annual demand uses average Australian planning rates, while the tank storage recommendation uses the selected average or summer planning rate and the reserve period you choose. Actual intake can change with breed, bodyweight, pregnancy, lactation, production, feed moisture, temperature, walking distance, shade and water quality. The result is a planning guide and does not replace farm water, hydraulic or animal health advice.

Commercial use

Average people on site Operating days each week

Operational water use on an operating day

L/day

Include washdown, production, processing, irrigation or other business use.

Fire water reserve

Required or preferred dedicated reserve

litres

Use the specified capacity where an engineer, authority, insurer or tender has already provided one.

Preferred everyday reserve Backup water source

Bore and pump interruption reserve

How much stored backup water would you like?

Your reserve is the amount of stored water available if the bore, pump or power supply stops. A longer reserve increases the recommended tank capacity.

Reserve period	What it provides	May suit
5 days	Suggested starting point for a reticulated livestock or bore-fed system	Reliable source, accessible repairs and another backup option
7 days	Additional protection against short interruptions	Solar pumps, remote paddocks or limited backup supply
14 days	Stronger protection against an extended outage	Remote properties, variable output or high summer demand
30 days	Substantial stored-water security	Highly remote sites, unreliable supply or a larger preferred buffer
Custom	A reserve based on a known water plan	Engineered systems or established operational requirements

A larger tank provides more time during an interruption, but it cannot correct an ongoing source shortfall where daily demand is higher than daily supply.

Site and footprint

What matters most at the installation site?

How restricted is the available ground space?

FlexibleThere is room to prioritise a lower tank profile Some limitsCapacity and footprint need to be balanced Tight footprintWe need to store more water in less ground space

Maximum available diameter, if known

Understanding livestock delivery flow

Tank capacity tells you how much water is stored. Delivery flow indicates whether pumps, pipes, valves and troughs can move enough water during peak drinking periods.

Peak daily livestock demand	Indicative four-hour delivery rate
5,000 L/day	21 L/min
10,000 L/day	42 L/min
20,000 L/day	83 L/min
40,000 L/day	167 L/min

This is a whole-system planning rate. Pipe diameter, pressure, elevation, trough valves and the number of watering points still require confirmation.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know exactly which tank I want?

No. The Tank Matcher is designed to help narrow down the most suitable model and range based on your answers.

Do I need to know my rainfall?

Only when rainwater will be collected from a roof. Bore, dam, delivered-water and other pathways do not require rainfall information.

Can it calculate livestock water requirements?

Yes. You can add different livestock categories, stock numbers and your preferred storage reserve.

Is the recommendation a final specification?

No. It is an initial planning recommendation. A Tank Specialist will confirm the site, final tank model, fittings, freight and quote.

Do I have to request a quote?

No. You can view your recommendation before deciding whether to send it to ClearWater.
