New water tanks an environmental win

Duncan McKinlay —

In Term 2, we reported on the new water tanks that Nayland College had won a grant to build. They were built over the July school holidays.

The tanks are located in the garden next to the car park behind the gymnasium. The water tanks collect rainwater off the gymnasium roof.

This will benefit Poorman Valley stream as water will no longer be drawn from it for the school’s irrigation needs. The tank water will reduce the needs for herbicide use and field maintenance, providing both environmental and fiscal benefit for the school.
