Abstract | Stormwater is one of the last major untapped water resources that can be utilised for urban water supply in major Australian cities. In Brisbane alone, the volume of annual stormwater runoff is estimated to be 1.45 times the volume of potable mains water imported from external catchments. To date, end-uses of treated stormwater are mostly for public open space irrigation, but potable substitution in urban developments as well as augmentation of drinking water reservoirs are of increasing interest. The critical issue of stormwater reuse is similar to other recycled water sources, which requires appropriate understanding of the associated health and environmental risks as outlined in the current Australian Guidelines for Water Recycling (Phase 2) – Stormwater Harvesting and Reuse and related reports. The intrinsic hazards associated with raw stormwater use include human and zoonotic pathogens and trace organic contaminants (ie, pesticides, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, heavy metals, petroleum derivatives, etc) from point (eg, sewer leakage) and diffuse (eg, car, pesticide application) sources. Whilst there is an abundance of scientific data available for total suspended solids, nutrients and to a lesser extent, heavy metals in stormwater, much less scientific information is available for the occurrence and detection of organic contaminants and pathogens (as opposed to indicator microorganisms). |
