A Comparative Evaluation of Rain Water Obtained from Corrugated Roofing Sheets within Awka Metropolis, Anambra State

The objective of this study was to evaluate comparatively the effects different brands corrugated roofing sheets on rainwater utilized within Awka metropolis. Different physicochemical parameters were assessed in rain water harvested using established standard laboratory procedures. directly (control) and also collected after passing through (samples). results showed no appreciable physical appearance, observable odour, or taste samples compared control sample. However, at 30 °C, there minor changes pH. amount suspended solids (SS) mg/100ml, total (TS), dissolved (TDS) found each samples, including sample, did not vary. This that sheet has significant effect SS, TS, TDS area. Iron, zinc, chloride ions followed a similar trend as with Fe Zn occurring non-detectable limits instrumentation, while levels Cl- ion (3mg/100ml) vary all revealed affect alkalinity methyl orange area greatly but had impact their appearance.
