Abstract

With the release of the Australian Guidelines for Water Recycling: Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR), aquifers are now being considered as a treatment barrier when assessing the human health risk of recycled water systems. An MAR research site recharging urban stormwater in a confined aquifer was used in conjunction with a quantitative microbial risk assessment to assess the microbial pathogen risk in the recovered water for drinking. The assessment involved undertaking a detailed assessment of the treatment steps and exposure controls, including the aquifer, to achieve the microbial health-based targets.
