| harvested rainwater quality: the importance of appropriate design. | this paper summarises the physicochemical and microbiological quality of water from a rainwater harvesting (rwh) system in a uk-based office building. 7 microbiological and 34 physicochemical parameters were analysed during an 8 month period. physicochemically, harvested rainwater quality posed little health risk; most parameters showed concentrations below widely used guideline levels for drinking water. however, rwh system components (e.g. fittings and down pipes) appear to be affected soft wa ... | 2010 | 20371928 |
