Urban Stormwater

The risks associated with stormwater harvesting include human exposure to pollutants, especially human pathogens, which have the potential to cause large-scale disease outbreaks.

Stormwater has traditionally been viewed as a leading cause of water-quality degradation because it harbors large amounts of pollutants.

The uncertainties relating to stormwater treatment technologies in pathogen removal include the performance of these technologies in effectively removing pathogens.
