Drinking Water Crisis In Bangladesh

A woman is walking a long way to collect drinking water from a freshwater source in a coastal area in Khulna, Bangladesh, on April 27, 2024. (Photo by Zabed Hasnain Chowdhury/NurPhoto) Research from the American Geophysical Union indicates that by 2050, rising sea levels, which affect the availability of clean drinking water, will likely cause approximately 1.3 million people to migrate within the country. A combination of tidal flooding, storm surge inundation, and saltwater intrusion is causing an increase in salinity in the groundwater and freshwater ponds, leading to an acute drinking water crisis in the coastal areas of Bangladesh, especially in several areas of Khulna. Drinking water sources are often contaminated or located so far away that people are required to travel for hours on foot to meet their daily water needs, in regions frequently affected by storms and flooding. Women from coastal areas are also forced to use saline water for household tasks such as washing clothes and cleaning utensils
