Treatment Options for Rainwater Harvesting Systems For more information go to: www.cleanwaterstore.com: www.cleanwaterstore.com
2
Rainwater is in Abundance
3
Rainwater often used for non-potable water applications
4
Benefits of Rainwater Provide water for rural areas Reduce the dependence and demand of public water supply Reduction of water bills Additional water supply for fire protection or emergency use Reduce land erosion and flooding Reduce salt accumulation in soil which can be harmful to root growth
5
Rainwater quality affected by atmospheric contamination Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels - affect pH, creating acidic water Pollution from industry - industrial pollution such as sulfur dioxide Pollution from agriculture – pesticides and herbicides
6
Rainwater quality affected by roof or other catchment surfaces
7
Maintaining Roof Water Quality Regularly inspect and clean gutters, roof catchments and tank screens. Remove overhead branches and clear trees near roof. Consider installing gutter screens or guards. Ensure tank does not become a mosquito breeding site by preventing access and cleaning screens regularly. Examine tank for accumulation of sludge every year and remove by siphon or by empting the tank. Shock sanitize by adding 40 mm of liquid bleach or 7 grams of granular calcium hypo-chlorite per 1000 liters of water.
