This study is on monitoring program for urban Stormwater Management Manual for Malaysia (MSMA) and Eco-Hydrological in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The rainwater was harvested and evaluated on the basis of three major parameters; Electric Conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen, pH, and indoor temperature. These parameters has been analyzed and compared with the National Water Quality Standards and Water Quality Index provided by the Department of Environment of Malaysia. This paper also analyzed the effect of using vegetated roofs on the pH value of rainwater using the adaptive neuro-fuzzy methodology, which simulates the rainwater quality parameter with adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The performance of proposed system is consolidated by simulation results. The study revealed that the ANFIS model can be used to determine rainwater quality parameter with high reliability. For that reason, it can be connected for reasonable purposes. Meanwhile, the influence of green roof in reducing indoor temperature is very important.

An experiment was conducted to explore the drinking water quality at some selected academic institutions of Tangail municipality during the period of August to September, 2012. For this, an investigation was carried out to study the standard water quality parameters such as pH, EC, TDS, Pb, As, Fe and E. coli concentration of the five academic institutions. In general, there were no major differences found in pH, EC and TDS values among the studied stations and not exceeded the recommended thresholds. In case of heavy metal content, very trace amount of Arsenic (0.0071ppm) was recorded from all selected institutions. In contrast, average lead concentration (0.307xppm) was much higher than all acceptable standard limits and most risky positi on was taken by station-3 (0.46ppm). Similar to Pb, average Fe concentration (0.255ppm) was five times higher than the acceptable value of EU standard but not exceeded BD standard value. All the samples were E.Coli bacteria free.

This research integrates quantitative data of underground and sub-surface sources of drinking water from two coastal union Gabura and Munshiganj of Shyamnagur upazila of Satkhira district. Four drinking water sources have been selected and sampled during dry season when the salinity rate is generally high. A total of 22 water samples have been collected of which 6 from protected pond, 6 from tube well, 6 from rainwater and 4 from pond sand filter (PSF). The average pH of tube well water, protected pond water, pond sand filter water and rain water were 6.59 (±.05), 6.46 (±1.03), 6.60 (±.52), 5.95 (±.87), respectively. The average EC (μs cm -1 ) range of tube well water, protected pond water, pond sand filter water and rain water were 2059.16 (±49.43), 1756 (±14), 769 (±94.27), 64.33(±59.91) while the TDS (ppm) range were 1319.97 (±31.69), 1125.64 (±913.46), 492.94 (±60.43) and 15.38 (±118.59) respectively. The maximum concentration of salinity was found in tube well water which was 1.37 (±53) ppt. Most of the protected ponds were highly contaminated with sulphate and it ranges from 84.64 to 218.25 ppm. The average number of fecal Coliform in protected ponds were 1650 100 m l -1 of water while in PSF source pond 2350 100ml -1 and collection point 1.5 100ml -1 .
