A Review of Roof Harvested Rainwater in Australia
To address concern regarding water sustainability, the Australian Federal Government and many state governments have implemented regulatory mechanisms and incentives to support households to purchase and install rainwater harvesting systems. This has led to an increase in rainwater harvesting in regional and urban Australia. This review examines the implementation of the regulatory mechanisms a...
متن کاملColiforms, biofilms, microbial diversity and the quality of roof-harvested rainwater
Previous studies of the bacterial quality of roof-harvested rainwater have been confined to either detection of specific pathogens and faecal indicator organisms, or epidemiological studies of health effects associated with consumption of stored rainwater. As yet however, a general consensus on tank-water quality has not been reached. In this paper it is proposed that achieving reliable microbi...
متن کاملQuality assessment of roof-harvested rainwater in the West Bank, Palestinian Authority.
Rain harvesting is becoming more common in the Palestinian Territories as a result of drinking water scarcity. Although it might pose serious human health risk, this water is being consumed without treatment in many areas of the West Bank. The present study evaluates the physicochemical and microbial quality of harvested rainwater that is used as potable water in the West Bank. Samples from roo...
متن کاملThe Effect of Photovoltaic Nanomaterial Roofing on Harvested Rainwater Quality
The global freshwater and energy crisis have prompted worldwide investments in rainwater harvesting and solar energy systems. As the implementation of these two systems develops concurrently, they can easily become integrated into one rooftop structure. Photovoltaic systems have the potential to leach heavy metals and other toxins from newly installed, broken or aged modules. Since the type of ...
متن کاملIdentifying the major influences on the microbial composition of roof harvested rainwater and the implications for water quality.
Perceptions of the quality of roof harvested rainwater remain an impediment to widespread implementation of rainwater tanks on urban allotments. Previous literature reports on roof water quality have given little consideration to the relative significance of airborne environmental micro-organisms to roof catchment contamination and the issue of tank water quality. This paper outlines the findin...
