Investigation of the Water Quality of Rooftop Rainwater Catchment Systems in Micronesia

摘要

This research involved an investigation of rainwater catchment system (RWCS) characteristics and water quality in Micronesia. The objectives of the research were to determine the bacteriological state of existing RWCS waters by analyses of fecal and total coliform bacteria and to try and identify those catchment characteristics and maintenance practices which affect catchment water quality.
