Rainwater as a Source of Drinking Water: Health Impacts and Rainwater Treatment

Abstract: Rainwater is the main source of drinking water in tropical communities, especially in West Kalimantan. Air contamination causes rainwater to become acidic and cloudy and adds heavy metals such as Pb into rainwater. In addition to pollution, the way in which the rainwater is collected such as through zinc roofing also exposes the rainwater to heavy metals. The presence of Pb in rainwater will have an impact on the health of the community in the long run. The model of simple water treatment using filtration is n… Show more

“…Aquifer depletion and groundwater salinization are global problems, and RWH is considered to be a powerful countermeasure to address these crucial issues [20,61]. Accordingly, ancient RWH technologies have been revived and new ones developed to increase water availability by two main ways: (i) using harvested rainwater and thus limiting groundwater abstraction, and (ii) performing artificial groundwater recharge [62].…”

“…This was probably due to the source of water (rainfall) used in wetting the soil (100ml of rainwater at 5days interval) to stimulate aggregation. It has been concluded by several researchers that rainwater is acidic (Okpoebo et al, 2014;Khayan et al, 2019).…”
