Pioneer Water Tanks has been installing large steel rainwater tanks across Australia for more than thirty years, giving us unmatched experience in designing water storage solutions for every kind of climate and landscape. Built exclusively from Australian Zincalume® or Colorbond® Steel – materials tested to endure the toughest conditions – our tanks are trusted by rural communities across New South Wales to provide the water security they rely on.
Much of western NSW is made up of arid and semi-arid landscapes, stretching across the Far West and Western Plains. Towns such as Broken Hill, Bourke, Cobar and White Cliffs sit within this dry inland zone, where rainfall is scarce and evaporation is high, making dependable water storage essential.
These desert and rangeland climates are defined by their extremes – long, hot summers, cold winter nights, and soils that hold little to no moisture. Reliable rainwater tanks help landholders make the most of limited rainfall, ensuring supply through the prolonged dry periods that are a normal part of life in western New South Wales.
Although New South Wales contains a range of arid and semi-arid zones, much of the state’s Far West falls into persistently hot and dry desert or rangeland climate classifications. These areas experience extremely low and variable rainfall, often less than 300mm annually, making water security one of the most critical challenges for local communities and industries.
Towns such as Broken Hill, White Cliffs and Tibooburra rely heavily on managed water supplies, as rainfall is too inconsistent to meet demand. In some areas, groundwater resources are limited or saline, further highlighting the importance of capturing and storing every drop of available water.
The inland water challenge has historically driven large-scale infrastructure projects in NSW, including pipelines that transport potable water long distances to ensure reliable supply. For residents, graziers and businesses across the Far West, large steel rainwater tanks remain an essential part of making life and industry viable in such dry conditions.
With rainfall so scarce and unpredictable in much of inland New South Wales – broken only by the occasional summer storm – it is essential to have water storage that minimises evaporation while maximising capacity. Every drop matters when living or working in the state’s driest regions.
With rainwater tanks available in sizes up to 500,000L, Pioneer Water Tanks supplies reliable storage not only for rural households, but also for farms, stations, businesses, and even community facilities across New South Wales, including its most arid areas.
