Hi there all of you that read this blog LOL thats only you Donna-Lee I thought I would write to the Blog every Night for 15 Minutes and hopefully I will end up with a enough information to publish an E-book on water bores and ground water in Perth WA. LOL Really all I am trying to do is to learn how to touch type without making mistakes.
Perth Ground Water:
When a new house is built in the Perth Metro area then about 700m2 of trees and vegetation is removed and replaced by 450 metres of house garage, paving, driveway and swimming pool. The net affect of this is that instead of 5% of the rain soaking into the ground ( the balance is used by the trees and vegetation) then 40% of the rain soaks into the ground water table.
This means that in most parts of Perth the ground water levels are rising and have to be drained into the river or the ocean.
Therefore it is logical that the best way to use rainwater is to install a garden bore and to recycle that beautiful rainwater onto your garden.
The current water atlas supplied by the water corporation gives maps of the suburbs that are drained and shows the roots of the drains. If I was less computer challenged I would post one on this blog. LOL (I'm smiling again) I will try to post something useful (picture that is) tomorrow night. LOL I am smiling because I am thinking WOW what a challenge
The water corporation is currently giving Perth homeowners a $300 rebate on the cost of a bore to try to encourage people to install bores.
They do this to save our drinking water from being used on the garfen. Currently 54% of water used by Perth housholds is used on gardens.
See You Tomorrow
