Comparative Analysis On Harvested Rainfall And Borehole Water Quality:- Iroerunachi Goodness C
ABSTRACT
The
growing global population in a bid to solve the challenge of water shortage has
resorted to groundwater and rainwater considering their benefits. The aim of
this study was to assess and compare the quality ofharvested rainwater and
underground water (borehole) in Umudike in order to ascertain their portability
in the light ofWHO (2010) drinking water standard. Groundwater and
rainwatersamples were collected from MOUAU Main Hostel (BH1), CEET Borehole
(BH2), PGS borehole (BH3), MOUAU male Hostel direct harvested rainfall (DHR1),
CEET direct harvested rainfall (DHR2), PGS direct harvested rainfall (DHR3) and
analyzed for physicochemical and microbial quality. These samples were analyzed
using laboratory analytical techniques as recommended by World Health
Organization Standard. This study however suggests that drinking water sources
should be properly treated especially harvested rainwater prior to consumption
using appropriate method in order to reduce the occurrence of waterborne
disease. The study also shows that there is not much difference in the quality
of borehole water from the direct harvested rainwater as most of the results
when statistically analyzed shows no significant difference for most ofthe
parameters.
