Pilot Rainwater Harvesting Study Ireland
, 2009 There are no National Water Quality Standards for Rainwater Harvesting supply in Ireland. The Development Technology Centre (DTC) at the Dublin Institute of Technology was commissioned by the National Rural Water Monitoring Committee in 2005 to assess the feasibility of using rainwater harvesting to supplement treated mains water for non-potable uses ...

A drop of rainwater against a drop of groundwater: does rainwater harvesting really allow us to spare Groundwater? [PDF]
This paper is concerned with groundwater management issues in the presence of rainwater harvesting (RWH). Namely, we propose a two-state model in order to take into account the standard dynamics of the aquifer and the dynamics of the storage capacity ...

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.This study assessed toxic metals in five dried marine fish species from Bangladesh. Although most metals were within safe limits, chromium (Cr) consistently exceeded FAO/WHO standards, especially at Kuakata Beach. The findings highlight localized contamination hotspots and species‐specific bioaccumulation, while risk assessment supports the safety and ...
