ISAVEH2O

Smart WaterMark has developed Australia’s first mobile rain tank calculator – iSaveH2O – available as a free download from iTunes.

The application is designed to help people discover how much water they can save and what size rain tank they need, and can be used when out in the field, or at point of purchase/consultation.

The iSaveH2O application is based on the online calculator available through www.smartwatermark.org. Behind the simple-to-use interface is a two gigabyte Bureau of Meteorology database including daily rainfall, evaporation and temperature data for the whole of Australia for the last 10 years.

Developed with the Institute for Sustainable Futures, rainwater harvesting calculations will be both accurate and relevant to your local postcode. The application has been designed to be easy to use, and give you a calculation within three minutes.

The app also includes a live online database of over 260 water saving products and services certified by Smart WaterMark, Australia’s water conservation label. An independent Technical Expert Panel have assessed each product and service against a set of published criteria to give you confidence that you will save water.
