An Australian project is now providing bottled drinking water whose source is storm runoff from the city of Salisbury, South Australia.  Using a process that includes holding storage, filtration, aquifer transfer, aeration, and ozone disinfection they provide an end product that meets or exceeds the standards for drinking water according to CSIRO (Australia’s national science agency).  As a test program, it shows promise for providing a cost-effective addition to urban water supplies, while reducing carbon footprint and waterway pollution.  See the original article here.
