Quality assessment of roof-harvested rainwater in the West Bank, Palestinian Authority.

Alternative fodder production for vulnerable herders in the West Bank

The 1993 and 1995 Oslo accords resulted in the classification of the West Bank into three zones, referred to as Areas A, B and C. Area A is under Palestinian civil and security authority; Area B is under the Palestinian Authority while security responsibilities are shared by both the Israeli and the Palestinian authorities. Area C which comprises around 60 percent of the West Bank is under Isra...

Implications of faecal indicator bacteria for the microbiological assessment of roof-harvested rainwater quality in southeast Queensland, Australia.

The study aimed to evaluate the suitability of Escherichia coli, enterococci, and Clostridium perfringens for assessing the microbiological quality of roof-harvested rainwater and assessing whether the concentrations of these faecal indicators can be used to predict the presence or absence of specific zoonotic bacterial or protozoan pathogens. From a total of 100 samples tested, 58%, 83%, and 4...

Identifying 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...
