Abstract

Since rainwater is considered to be one of the safest sources of water, this study is focused on the rainwater quality parameters collected from the Savar area, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The main purpose of the study was to assess the rainwater quality variation in terms of drinking water quality standards given by the World Health Organization (WHO) to observe whether further treatment is needed or not for household applications. This location was selected due to the increased number of industries and textiles in the Savar area. For this investigation, four samples were collected in the months of April and May 2022 during rainfall. Several parameters were analyzed such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), turbidity, salinity and total dissolved solid (TDS). The turbidity values varied from 0 to 2.21 NTU which suggested that the samples were optically clear enough. The pH, EC, salinity and TDS values, which are the chemical properties of the samples, ranged from 6.03 to 6.37, 21 to 62.2µS/cm, 0 to 0.1% and 10.51 to 27.8 ppm respectively. The results revealed that the quality of the rainwater samples found in this investigation was in the good range in terms of drinking water quality standards and it is safe for further applications.
