What Causes High Iron in Sylhet Water?
Sylhet’s water sources, especially deep tubewells, naturally contain iron due to:
1. Deep Tubewell Extraction
Groundwater in Sylhet passes through iron-bearing soil layers, causing high Fe concentration.
2. Groundwater Contamination
Areas with clay soil, industrial activity, and old pipelines often experience iron pollution.
3. WHO Allowable Limit Exceeded
According to the WHO Drinking-Water Guidelines, the acceptable iron limit is 0.3 mg/L.
But in Sylhet, readings often range from 1–10 mg/L, making filtration mandatory.
Excess iron causes:
- Orange/reddish water
- Bad smell
- Stains on clothes & fixtures
- Skin irritation
- Pipe blockage
- Health discomfort
