Large water tanks: What they are used for?

Large water tanks are used in rainwater harvesting, potable drinking water, process water and effluent systems for storing clean water, dirty water, or sludge.

Rainwater Tanks

Large rainwater tanks are used for above ground rainwater storage.  These tanks are available as singles moulded tanks up to 40,000 litres and can be interlinked to achieve large volumes up to 120,000 litres.  This water from the farm or commercial buildings can be used for agricultural crop sprayers, water for dairy wash down, pressure washers, greywater systems for flushing toilets for commercial factories and office blocks and many applications for washing and cooling in industry.
