    Hi Raef,

    Unfortunately, we don’t have the data specific to the drinking water usage and average roof area in Saibai Island. I suggest that in your research, explore Saibai’s water infrastructure to get a broader picture of the water supply. According to this report (page 111): Sustainable Land Use Plan_Part 2 Saibai (2012): “The average water usage from the most recent data provided from the TSIRC Water and Sewerage Infrastructure Unit is around 327L/person/day. This is slightly higher than the target design consumption of 300/person/day.” This document is accessible from our Resources section.

    I suppose your team may have to perform projections using existing data from reliable sources such as:
    > Water Account, Australia (Australian Bureau of Statistics)
    > Drinking water and your health
    > TSIRC’s website with link to Drinking Water Quality Annual Report 2022-2023.

    I hope this helps!

    Regards,
    Jean
