This study aims at assessing rainwater quality in Soc Trang province
in 2021. Water quality parameters include pH, sulphate (SO4
2-
),
nitrite (N-NO2
-
), nitrate (N-NO3
-
), ammonium (N-NH4
+
), sodium
(Na+
), calcium (Ca2+) and chloride (Cl-
) were collected at three
locations (Soc Trang city, Vinh Chau town and Nga Nam town) in
May and November. Rainwater quality is compared with the
National Technical Regulation on quality of clean water used for
domestic purposes (QCVN 01-1:2018/BYT). The research results
show that the quality of rainwater in the study area can be used for
domestic purposes. Rainwater quality parameters have very low
values and are within the allowable limits of QCVN 01-1:2018/BYT.
Rainwater in the study area can be used as an alternative to other
water resources. However, it is necessary to have measures for
collection and treatment before recommending to people for
effective use so as to ensure health safety. The study provides
important information on rainwater quality in Soc Trang province
for rainwater quality planning and managemen
