An assessment of non-conventional drinking water in the Peace, Athabasca and Slave River basins / prepared for the Northern River Basins Study under project 4423-D1 by T.F. Armstrong, S.J. Stanley and...: R71-49/3-116E-PDF

"It is estimated that approximately 25 % of the residents of the Northern River Basins Study area do not receive their drinking water from conventional drinking water treatment facilities. Therefore, these people rely on alternative sources for their drinking water supply. This report assesses the utilization and quality of the different non-conventional sources of drinking water that are used by people that do not consume conventionally treated water. Some of the non-conventional drinking water supplies utilized in the NRBS area include: (1) self-hauled treated water; (2) untreated surface water; (3) dugout water; (4) groundwater; (5) environmental sources of water such as snow, rain, and birch tree water; (6) bottled water; and (7) water treated by a variety of point-of-use technologies. There were four main research components in the assessment of these non-conventional drinking water supplies"--Report summary.
