Visit the Tankulator: ATA’s new online rainwater calculator website

The Tankulator is a free interactive online calculator that helps people plan for a new rainwater tank or improve the performance of existing tanks.

Developed by the ATA with funding from the Victorian Government Sustainability Fund, it calculates how much rainwater can be harvested from a roof anywhere in Australia based on rainfall figures from the nearest Bureau of Meteorology station.
