Save Water - Every Drop Counts!!!
Many parts of the world are experiencing water scarcity. One reason for this is Global warming. Extreme heat leads to evaporation of water in reservoirs and drinking water gets affected because of rise in sea level, leading to intrusion of salt water into ground water. The increased heat bringing water shortage is creating a lot of health problems because of water contamination.
The only solution to this is to save water. Water can be stored in water tanks and can be used later, as and when necessary. A water tank is a storage container, where water is stored and used for human consumption, irrigation, agricultural farming, chemical manufacturing and various other purposes. Water tanks can be located outdoors, indoors, underground or above the ground and these tanks are made from various materials like polyethylene, fiberglass, concrete etc.
If you are having problems with space, to install a water tank, then the best solution is underground water tanks. They are available in various sizes from 700 liters to 10,000 liters and are made from materials like polyethylene and concrete, either precast concrete or cast-in-place concrete, so as to withstand the gases and chemicals in the soil. Another material used to make underground water tank, is fiberglass, which can be used in residential or commercial buildings and are safe, cost effective and reliable.
Another solution to solve space problem is to install slimline water tanks which are available in many different shapes, like oval, rectangular and other configurations, according to the needs of the customers, and can be kept even in narrow passages or narrow corners of your house.
In areas where there is risk of fire damage, it is better to install concrete water tanks. These tanks can be placed above the ground or under the ground, under driveways or gardens. Poly water tanks are also available all over Australia. These tanks made from polyethylene, is available in various shapes and sizes.
Water scarcity can be solved by collecting rain water in rainwater tanks. Water collected in a rain water tank can later be used for non-drinking purposes like washing cars, toilets, for the garden, washing clothes or vessels etc. There are many companies in Australia from where you can purchase rainwater tanks according to your needs. Sydney Government is offering rebates for installing rain water tanks. But the tank has to be minimum 1000 liters and fixed to toilet, laundry or hot water service.
Outbackwatertanks supply water tanks all over Australia and they have a huge selection of water tanks to suit your needs.

Removing concrete slab to build wood deck but worried about water entering basement?
So I have a concrete slab attached to the back of my house that is in extremely bad shape (cracked, lifted). I want to add deck off the back of my house but to do so I have to remove the concrete first. What are my options after removing the concrete to keep water out of my basement since the concrete is currently keeping the water from soaking into the ground and getting in the basement. Also, what is the best process at removing the concrete and also disposing of it.
Since your existing concrete is cracked and lifted, putting down a heavy plastic sheet probably would be a good or better than the existing concrete.
If possible you might want to slope the soil aways from the house to aid the drainage.
You might also cosider a shallow french drain to help with any water that gets near the foundation.
