Tubewells serve as the main source of drinking water in rural Bangladesh, with access to water for rural populations increasing from 65% in 1990 to 97% in 2015. [24] In 2015, 87% of the population had access to "improved" water, and the figure was identical to rural and urban areas. In 2015, there were still around 21 million lacking access to ...
Drinking water quality standards describes the quality parameters set for drinking water. Water may contain many harmful constituents, yet there are no universally recognized and accepted international standards for drinking water. Even where standards do exist, the permitted concentration of individual constituents may vary by as much as ten ...

Freshwater environmental quality parameters are those chemical, physical and biological parameters that can be used to characterise a freshwater body. Because almost all water bodies are dynamic in their composition, the relevant quality parameters are typically expressed as a range of expected concentrations.
The National Water Quality Inventory Report to Congress is a general report on water quality, providing overall information about the number of miles of streams and rivers and their aggregate condition. [65] The CWA requires states to adopt standards for each of the possible designated uses that they assign to their waters.
In industrial process, the control of the quality of process water can be critical to the quality of the end product. Water is often used as a carrier of reagents and the loss of reagent to product must be continuously monitored to ensure that correct replacement rate. Parameters measured relate specifically to the process in use and to any of ...
Bangladesh faces both natural and man-made environmental problems. The main environmental problems of Bangladesh can be traced to the problems of overpopulation and poverty. These are: deforestation, deteriorating water quality, natural disasters, land degradation, salinity, unplanned urbanization, unplanned sewage, industrial waste disposal, etc.
Climate change in Bangladesh is expected to have an impact on the Dhaka River System water quality, with increased monsoon flows and lower summer flows. However, these changes will not greatly affect the extremes of water quality to any great extent due to the overwhelming impact of pollutant discharges into the system. [20]
