10 Questions
What are the risks associated with stormwater harvesting?
The risks associated with stormwater harvesting include human exposure to pollutants, especially human pathogens, which have the potential to cause large-scale disease outbreaks.
Why has stormwater traditionally been viewed as a leading cause of water-quality degradation?
Stormwater has traditionally been viewed as a leading cause of water-quality degradation because it harbors large amounts of pollutants.
What are the uncertainties relating to stormwater treatment technologies in pathogen removal?
The uncertainties relating to stormwater treatment technologies in pathogen removal include the performance of these technologies in effectively removing pathogens.
What does quantitative microbial risk assessment provide?
Quantitative microbial risk assessment provides an objective risk estimate based on scientific data and assumptions.
What is the purpose of evaluating the risks and benefits associated with stormwater harvesting?
The purpose of evaluating the risks and benefits associated with stormwater harvesting is to ensure its full potential in mitigating water scarcity problems and restoring stream health.
What are the potential risks of human exposure to pollutants in stormwater?
Human exposure to pollutants in stormwater can potentially cause large-scale disease outbreaks.
Why is it necessary to evaluate the risks and benefits associated with stormwater harvesting?
To ensure that stormwater harvesting can effectively mitigate water scarcity problems and restore stream health.
What is the role of stormwater in water-quality degradation of receiving waters?
Stormwater is traditionally viewed as a leading cause of water-quality degradation due to the large amounts of pollutants it harbors.
What are the challenges in pathogen removal through stormwater treatment technologies?
There are uncertainties regarding the performance of stormwater treatment technologies in effectively removing pathogens.
What does quantitative microbial risk assessment provide?
Quantitative microbial risk assessment provides an objective risk estimate based on scientific data and assumptions.
