Solar Disinfection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Harvested Rainwater: A Step towards Potability of Rainwater
Efficiency of solar based disinfection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) in rooftop harvested rainwater was evaluated aiming the potability of rainwater. The rainwater samples were exposed to direct sunlight for about 8-9 hours and the effects of water temperature (°C), sunlight irradiance (W/m2), different rear surfaces of polyethylene terephthalate bottles, variable microbial concentr...
متن کاملRainwater Collection and Storage in Thailand: Design, Practices and Operation
This paper reviews the design of rainwater harvesting systems used for potable water supply in Thailand, its implementation, socio-economic aspects, operation and maintenance, water quality aspects and current practice. Rainwater harvesting has become popular in rural areas of Thailand because of population growth, inaccessibility, contamination and unreliability or unavailability of central wa...
متن کاملGeneralized Storage-Reliability-Yield equations for rainwater harvesting systems
Although rainwater harvesting (RWH) is gaining popularity as a sustainable water supply source in urban as well as rural areas, estimating required storage remains an important design challenge. This paper develops a robust, yet computationally simple equation for calculating required storage capacity for a RWH system, which is generally applicable in the United States (U.S.). A simulation mode...
متن کاملMicrobiological Values of Rainwater Harvested in Adelaide
In Australia, rainwater is an important source of water for many households. Unlike municipal water, rainwater is often consumed untreated. This study investigated the potential contamination of rainwater by microorganisms. Samples from 53 rainwater tanks across the Adelaide region were collected and tested using Colilert™ IDEXX Quanti-Tray*/2000. Twenty-eight out of the 53 tanks (53%) containe...
متن کاملMaximizing the Utilization of Rainwater for the Agricultural Use
In arid and semi-arid regions, where precipitation is low or infrequent during the dry season, it is necessary to store the maximum amount of rainwater during the wet season for use in the agriculture sector. Rainfall in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia takes place primarily during winter and spring seasons. The amount of rainfall ranges from 0.1 to 0.2 m in the area extending from north of Riyadh t...
