Assessment of Physicochemical Parameters of Harvested Rainwater in Hamuhambo Town Council Rubanda District. by Atuheire, Israel

“…There were no significant variations in the variables accessed apart from an abnormally high turbidity value at ST 05 where the sample was picked from the minimal water remaining on the floor that contained a lot of total dissolved solids suggesting regular cleaning of the RWHS at the beginning of each rain season, a first flush of 15 minutes at the beginning of the rain and installation of proper pre-filtration mechanisms. It is important to fence the underground RWHS to keep away children who may contaminate the water. …”
