Bangladesh is a tropical country and receives heavy rainfall during
the rainy season. The average rainfall in the coastal region is
more than 3000 mm, against an average rainfall of about 2400 mm in
Bangladesh. In the coastal district, high salinity in surface and
ground water and rainwater harvesting for drinking purposes is a
common practice in a limited scale for a long time. In the present
context of arsenic pollution of shallow ground water aquifer,
rainwater harvesting is being seriously considered as an
alternative option for water supply in the arsenic affected areas.
There is no extensive study of the seasonal variation of harvested
rainwater as well as its suitability for drinking purpose
throughout the year especially during the dry period. The main
objectives of this book are to investigate seasonal quality of
harvested rainwater, mineral contents and people's perception of
rainwater harvesting. This study was performed at Shyamnagar thana
under Satkhira district, one of the coastal area of Bangladesh.
Water sample was collected from nine different storages of
rainwater harvesting system for field and laboratory test of the
water quality parameters.
