Urban Stormwater Runoff for Potable Use: Potential and Challenges
Water use continues to increase globally due to population growth, rising urban dwellers, and the expansion of socioeconomic activities. At the same time, conventional approaches that rely on limited freshwater resources such as surface water and groundwater sources for water supply are threatened due to water pollution and climate change. To meet these challenges and future water demand, considering urban stormwater runoff as an alternative source water is crucial. Although using urban stormwater runoff for non-potable purposes has become a common practice, its use for potable purposes is an emerging research and technology theme. This chapter provides insight on the potential of urban stormwater runoff for potable use and particularly focuses on the stormwater quality treatment employing green stormwater best management practices (BMPs) for potable water usage. The most applied BMPs as well as newly emerging green infrastructures are assessed based on key water quality parameters. Furthermore, this chapter provides various ways of leveraging stormwater BMPs for treating stormwater quality as sustainable and cost-effective practices for securing alternative source water while reducing flooding and combined sewer overflows. The major objective of this chapter is to critically analyze recently published works and identify research needs for integrating urban stormwater capture and use in sustainable urban water management.
