The lifespan of typical stormwater harvesting infrastructure can vary depending on factors such as materials, design, and maintenance. Well-designed and properly maintained systems can last for several decades. Storage tanks or ponds made from durable materials like concrete or high-density polyethylene may have lifespans exceeding 50 years.
Filtration systems, pumps, and conveyance components may require periodic replacement or upgrades. Regular inspections, timely repairs, and adherence to maintenance schedules contribute to the longevity of the infrastructure. Overall, a combination of robust design and vigilant upkeep ensures the sustained effectiveness of stormwater harvesting systems over an extended period.
