Alleviating health risks associated with rainwater harvesting
Perceived and real public health risks associated with the quality of water from alternative water sources and supply systems, such as rainwater harvesting (RWH) and grey water reuse, continue to restrict their uptake in many countries. One option to alleviate these health risks is to treat alternative water to potable standard at the point of use (POU) as opposed to the point of supply, as undertaken in centralised systems. This paper presents the results of three international empirical field trials of a novel POU RWH treatment device. The results indicate that where the harvested rainwater did not contain elevated levels of pesticides or physico-chemical determinands, the POU device was able to reduce levels in outlet water to meet UK, EU and World Health Organization potable standards. Regarding microbiological determinands, such as total viable counts and coliforms, and microbial pathogens, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Legionella spp., the device achieved reduction to potable standard and full pathogen removal, respectively. Thus, while it is possible to treat harvested rainwater to potable standard with a POU device, whether it is desirable to do so to alleviate risks for all end uses remains a question for further debate

METHODS: To address the request, we: • Ran the GAM with average recharge for 2000 through 2050. • Took budget information from the GAM and converted it to acre-feet per year. • Calculated the volume of water in the aquifer using information from the GAM and assumed values of specific yield. PARAMETERS AND ASSUMPTIONS: • We used recharge values that represent average conditions from 2005 through 2050. • The GAM uses pumpage based on the 2001 Brazos G Regional Water Planning Plan. We made no changes to the pumpage in the original GAM. • We assumed a specific yield of 0.15 for the Seymour aquifer, the value used in the GAM. • We estimated volume of water in the aquifer by subtracting the elevation of the aquifer bottom (from the GAM) from the elevation of GAM calculated water levels and multiplying by the appropriate area and the specific yield.
