Abstract: Rainwater harvesting and storage do not constitute a new technology. It has been used for domestic, agricultural,\nrunoff control, air-conditioning etc. for a long time in different parts of the world. However, rainwater harvesting is not a common practice in Bangladesh. Only 35.5 percent households have been found to use the rainwater as drinking water source during the raining seasons in coastal\nareas having high salinity problems (Hussain & Ziauddin, 1989). In the backdrop of arsenic contamination in\ngroundwater of Bangladesh, rainwater has been considered as a potential source of arsenic free water.
