Blacktown, NSW introduces stormwater harvesting scheme to counter droughts and water access issues

Blacktown, NSW Stormwater Harvesting Scheme Water Access

The harvesting system gathers and filters stormwater from Angus Creek as well as hard surfaces at the Blacktown International Sportspark. Three storage ponds with floating wetlands receive water via an existing irrigation system. Solar-powered pumps transfer water in excess of the park's needs into reserve ponds. Blacktown City Council does not need to allocate additional funds for operations with water sales covering ongoing expenses.
