@Mima   7 There is not enough water to ever fill the tank I have - there is no point getting a second tank. We only occasional heavy rainfall in rainy season. The rest of the time we are lucky to get a tropical morning sprinkle.

@Pablo888 LOL, you cannot store water you don't have. I am currently filling containers of water from the pipe that collects rain water from 2nd floor roof - I use this to mop & water garden. I will probably get a rainwater tank or sealed container happening soon.

@Mima   7 As I said above, there is no point getting a second ground level tank when I cannot fill the one I have. Heavy rainfall or floods are occasional. There are months where we are lucky to have the occasional morning tropical sprinkle.

@Novalis1Was in DefiMedia like 1months ago or even 2 months ago,but its really not totally true.I realize it when my neighbours tokd me,that they are having problem with water,like there is not even 2 days coming water in our mprcelment.Our luckiness is that we install  very big tank.We need to pray to have regular rain during this summer and to jave reservpir full.My family is thinking about installong another tank to collect rain water and on tap to instal filter for cleaning water so we can use it for no matter which purpose.

@VK28 Yes, some days there is not one drop. This morning though there was a MIRACLE haha. My tank is 3/4 full. It won't last long as I have washing to catch up on. I will be getting a rainwater tank too - let me know if you have a plumber in north that can give me another quote. Now, I shall go & have a real shower lol.
