摘要：

First, this paper presents a thorough review of water quality data using a rainwater tank, categorizing the data as with and without sedimentation. Data are presented showing minimum, maximum, and mean values for the different parameters. The data measured from several sources reveal that water collected from the tank is much better than the water directly collected from the roof. In addition, to analyse the phenomena through a mathematical model, a hypothetical 5 kL rainwater tank with a 200 m(2) roof was modelled with the MUSIC model. The simulations were compared with the measured water quality data from a rainwater tank in Melbourne. In general, we found that MUSIC's simulations on the mean daily concentrations of total suspended solids (TSS) and total phosphorus (TP) are slight underestimations compared to the measured data from Melbourne. Further MUSIC simulations reveal that significant reductions in the daily maximum concentrations of TSS, TP, and total nitrogen (TN) are expected through a rainwater tank.
