Recreational waters are those natural waters used not only for
primary contact activities, such as swimming, windsurfing, and
waterskiing, but also for secondary contact activities, such as
boating and fishing. Recreational water quality criteria are used
to assess the safety of water to be used for swimming and other
water-sport activities. The primary concern is to protect human
health by preventing water pollution from faecal material or from
contamination by micro-organisms that could cause gastro-intestinal
illness, ear, eye or skin infections. This study was conducted to
learn about the quality status of the water at recreational spots
in Chittagong City these are Foy's Lake, Chittagong Shisu Park,
Karnafuly Shisu Park, Zia Smriti Complex, Zatishonga Park andf
Vatiary Lake. Derived parameters are Conductivity, Turbidity,
Color, Odor, PH, Dissolve Oxygen, Biological Oxygen Demand,
Chemical Oxygen Demand, Sulfate and Nitrate of the collected water
samples were compared with the standard value of the respective
parameters. The study suggests that most of the collected samples
satisfied the required level of the expected parameters used for
recreational purposes.
