    Case study:

    Water Harvesting at Wagin

    Rainfall

    436 mm (2009). Area of catchment: 3 km2
    Water runoff over 3 km2: 100,000 litres per 1 mm average per year
    Runoff from Go-Kart track to White Dam: 9,000kl.

    Weir

    Grundfos pumps 5.5kw / 17.5kw 3-phase
    Weir to Dam's pipeline with a 3km lead and 26.18 metre head.
    Litres pumped per hour: 27,000 litres at a cost of 5 cents per litre.

    Capacity

    White Dam: 23,000 kl
    Brown Dam: 27,000 kl

    Ovals

    Town Oval grassed area of 4 ha - water usage per year 30,000 kl.
    School Oval grassed area of 2.5 ha - water usage per year 15,000 kl.

    To water the Town Oval with Scheme water costs $45,000 compared with Dam water $9,000. To water the School Oval with Scheme water costs $22,500 compared with Dam water $4,500. This is a total saving of $54,000 per year.

    Wetlands (Ram Park)

    Water pumped from the Bowling Club dam to Wetlands 4,000 kl to 6,000 kl per year, which is a saving of $4,000 - $7,000 per year on scheme water.
