Abstract:

This project examined the chemical water quality of urban rainwater tanks, with a focus on quantifying the contribution of contaminants from urban air pollution. It also assessed the health risk for people utilising rainwater tanks as their main drinking water source. Tank water was sampled from 26 tanks at 23 locations spread across Brisbane, on a monthly basis, for a whole year. Sampling of atmospheric deposition (bulk deposition) at 16 sites was conducted concurrently. 13 locations had both tank water and bulk deposition monitored at the same site. Tank water and bulk deposition was analyse

Abstract:

Melbourne, the capital of Victoria Australia leads the world in having the highest quality drinking water. The Victorian State Government has set targets for reducing per capita water consumption by 15%, 25% and 30% by 2010, 2015 and 2020 respectively and has announced stringent water restrictions to curtail water demand. In this resource constraint environment it is opportune to look for alternative sources of water to supplement Melbourne's traditional water supply. In Melbourne, legislation has been changed to make it possible to use rainwater harvested from domestic tanks for non potabl

The utilisation of rainwater tanks and bore wells are very common in many parts of rural Australia and Papua New Guinea. In Australia, on-site collection and storage of potable water for domestic use is carried out by approximately 30.4 percent of the rural population while 90% of the population in Papua New Guinea access water from on-site collection and storage of potable water. Few studies have monitored the quality of such water supplies on a seasonal and event associated basis.

Abstract:

Water security is increasingly becoming a cause of concern in Australia with population growth and climate change set to exacerbate the variability of supply in both rural and urban regions. During recent drought conditions in Queensland there was a strong emphasis on water restrictions to reduce residential consumption, as well as water policy strategies such as modifying building codes to require all new residential and commercial buildings to conserve and/or substitute potable water. Additionally, there was a heightened emphasis on having an Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM) approach

Abstract:

Greensmart housing is an Australian industry initiative to encourage the uptake of responsible building processes which deliver less impacting houses. Increasing public knowledge is growing demand for better housing and stimulating industry change which is being supported by both government and industry bodies. Greenhouse pollution, reduced rainfall and reliability, ageing population and other changing social trends combined with continuing population growth are all requiring a move towards responsible and sustainable housing.

Abstract:

An emerging field in rainwater harvesting (RWH) is the application of communal rainwater harvesting system. This system's main advantage compared to individual RWH is the centralization of water treatment, which some users of individual RWH find difficult to maintain. Despite alleviating one concern, this communal approach does not increase the RHW system's (RWHS) reliability nor necessarily satisfy all water demands, and hence is not a major improvement in terms of system performance. This research tackles this challenge with a novel approach to communal RWH for single-family houses. Instea

M.Ing. (Civil Engineering Science)<br>In recent years, there has been an international trend towards installing rainwater tanks in an attempt to save water. However, there are no clear guidelines for determining the optimal size of such a tank in South Africa. This study investigates the possibility of simplifying the process of sizing a rainwater tank for optimal results. It utilises daily data from four rainfall stations, namely Kimberley, Mossel Bay, Punda Maria and Rustenburg, obtained from the South African Weather Services. The water use is considered to be for indoor purposes only, ther

Abstract:

Although many developing countries use harvested rainwater (HRW) for drinking and other household purposes, its quality is seldom monitored. Continuous assessment of the microbial quality of HRW would ensure the safety of users of such water. The current study investigated the prevalence of pathogenic Escherichia coli strains and their antimicrobial resistance patterns in HRW tanks in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Rainwater samples were collected weekly between June and September 2016 from 11 tanks in various areas of the province. Enumeration of E. coli was performed using the Colilert®18/Q

Abstract:

Stormwater run-off from urban developments, if left untreated can be detrimental to the quality of the receiving waters. To counteract the effects of urban development on the natural environment, holistic management strategies and treatment at the source have been introduced in Australia, in the form of catchment management authorities, legislation (e.g. Building And Sustainability IndeX) and design techniques, such as Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD). In practice, these principles result in lot scale (re)development with a Rainwater Tank (RWT), an On Site Detention (OSD) system and an infi

Abstract:

Short duration intense rainfall causes an increase in rainfall derived infiltration and inflow (RDII) in aging sewer networks, which leads to Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs). This, in turn, causes various detrimental impacts, both on human health and the environment. This research aims to quantify the benefits of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) approaches to mitigate the negative impacts of rainfall induced SSOs. In this context, this research develops a generalised framework for assessing and mitigating the impacts of intense rainfall on the performance of the sanitary sewer network. The

Abstract:

Cape Town, South Africa, falls within a winter rainfall region, making it difficult to assess the feasibility of rain- and stormwater harvesting. The reason for this is because the region’s high water demand period coincides with the low rainfall summer season, thereby limiting the availability of this alternative water resource when most needed. During this study, rainwater harvesting for toilet flushing purposes, collected from roof surfaces, was practically assessed by means of inserted flow meters at a pilot study site in Kommetjie, Cape Town. The combined and single system roof- and land
