Whycan’twejustusethewater?!
• Potentialcontaminants:ØMicrobialpathogensfrom humanandanimalfecesØ Helminths,protozoan
• Stormeventshavebeenlinkedtoanincreasedincidenceofwaterborneentericdiseases,largelyduetomobilizationandtransportofpathogens.1,2
• Publichealthrisksassociatedwithstormwaterreusearenotwellunderstood.
