| dc.description.abstract | This thesis paper focuses on the assessment of surface water suitability for large urban water supply
systems, with a specific emphasis on Dhaka city. While rivers and lakes are valuable sources of consistent
water volume for urban areas, smaller communities often prefer well and spring-fed gravity systems due
to their reliability. The study conducted at the "Department of Public Health Engineering" Central Lab
evaluates the effectiveness and performance of surface water within Dhaka city. Monitoring this
performance is crucial, necessitating an examination of water quality from natural and artificial freshwater
sources like rivers, lakes, streams, and canals. The study involves collecting samples from three distinct
locations and subjecting them to various physio-chemical tests such as pH, TDS, TSS, hardness, alkalinity,
and DO. The resulting test data will be comprehensively analyzed and compared among the sampling
sites, providing insights into the quality of surface water and enabling informed decision-making for water
supply management. | en_US |
