About Our Project

Protecting Bangladesh's Water Resources

Our Mission

The River Water Quality Index Project is dedicated to monitoring and improving the water quality of Bangladesh's major rivers. We provide real-time data, analysis, and insights to help stakeholders make informed decisions about water resource management and environmental protection.

Our mission is to ensure that Bangladesh's rivers remain clean, safe, and sustainable for future generations through continuous monitoring, scientific analysis, and community engagement.

🎯 Our Vision

To create a comprehensive, transparent water quality monitoring system that empowers communities and government agencies to protect and restore Bangladesh's vital river ecosystems.

💡 Our Values

We believe in transparency, scientific integrity, community participation, and sustainable environmental stewardship. Our work is guided by the principle that clean water is a fundamental human right.

Parameters We Monitor

Our comprehensive monitoring system tracks multiple water quality parameters to provide a complete picture of river health:

pH Level: Measures water acidity/alkalinity
Dissolved Oxygen (DO): Essential for aquatic life
BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand): Organic pollution indicator
Turbidity: Water clarity measurement
Temperature: Water temperature monitoring
Conductivity: Water's ability to conduct electricity

Rivers We Monitor

Our project focuses on four major rivers in the Dhaka metropolitan area, which are vital to millions of people:

Burigonga River: Flows through central Dhaka, crucial for transportation and livelihood
Turag River: Major tributary supporting local agriculture and industry
Shitalakkha River: Important for water supply and ecological balance
Balu River: Key water source for the eastern region

WQI Classification

We classify water quality into four categories based on the Water Quality Index (WQI):

✅ Excellent (70-100)

Water is clean and safe for all uses including drinking with minimal treatment.

✓ Good (60-69)

Water quality is acceptable with minor concerns requiring monitoring.

⚠️ Fair (40-59)

Water requires treatment for certain uses and shows moderate pollution.

❌ Poor (<40)

Water is severely polluted and unsafe for most uses without major treatment.
