Abstract: Increasing demand for water usage due to numerous factors affecting the water supply has made rainwater harvesting important for humans in the world at large especially those residing in the developing countries. This led to this study which assesses the physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics, heavy metals, metal composition of the storage vessels/roof type and air quality of the study area. Thirty-six rainwater samples were harvested in the months of April-July, 2017 in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria in the areas with high and less industrial activities.
