First and most earnest gratitude goes to the Almighty Allah; most gracious and most merciful who has bequeathed us with aptitude, the vigour and the perseverance unless which it would have not been possible for us to complete this project.
We would like to express our heartiest gratitude to Lt Col Md. Lutfor Rahman, Department of Mechanical Engineering, MIST for his support, patience, and encouragement throughout our project. His technical and editorial advice was essential to the completion of this dissertation and has taught us innumerable lessons and insights on the workings of academic research in general. Throughout the project, he has been an advisor, and a mentor who helped us realizing this project in a convenient way. Without his help and proper directions, it would have been nearly impossible to make it a success.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Capt. M. Munir Hasan (E) ,BN, Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department ,MIST for his valuable guidance, encouragement, suggestions and support. The direction he has given us during our project work was invaluable.
Gracious appreciation is extended to the Department of Mechanical Engineering and MIST authority for providing us with different facilities for experimental work.
We acknowledge the support and the friendly environment extended by the fellow students and other instructors towards us. We are ever grateful for it and their precious memory will forever be cherished. |

Water is a vital element in human life. Requirement of pure and clean fresh water is undeniable in daily life. All over the world this water is extracted from underground and surface sources. Continuous extraction of underground water with inadequate renewal leads to fall of water level. For meeting the needs WASA extracts underground water to a large scale (87%) in comparison to surface water (13%). Thus the groundwater level in the capital has dropped by six meters in the last seven years. The capital's groundwater level had now dropped to 52 meters below mean sea level (MSL). Last year the level has dropped by one meter. If this situation continues in this manner in near future water level will drop to such a level that prompts to natural disasters like: landfall, earthquake, emerging of salty sea water into the underground etc.
In our rural and urban areas scarcity of drinkable water and arsenic free water has reached its peak situations. In rural areas people has to depend on deep tube-wells and on pond, river, canals etc. In most cases the underground water is affected by arsenic and the surface water is dirty and unhygienic. On the other hand, rainwater throughout the year causes many municipal and others problems. For example flooding and damaging roads and constructions etc. If we could collect this abundant water and use them in our daily life we surely can reduce these problems, besides relief the underground water level from going down.
This project will hopefully be a partial solution to these problems and contribute to the greater interest of the nation. This is a mini project; from this project we will have an overall idea of the contribution of harvesting rain water. |
