Bangladeshi women are carrying drinking water after collecting it from a fresh-water source, walking a long way to collect drinking water in the coastal area of Khulna, Bangladesh, on April 27, 2024. (Photo by Zabed Hasnain Chowdhury/NurPhoto) According to research from the American Geophysical Union, rising sea levels, which are affecting the availability of clean drinking water, will cause approximately 1.3 million people to migrate across the country by 2050. A combination of tidal flooding, storm surge inundation, and saltwater intrusion is leading to an increase in salinity in the groundwater and fresh-water ponds, causing an acute drinking water crisis in the coastal area of Bangladesh, especially in several areas of Khulna. Drinking water sources are often contaminated or located so far away that hours of travel on foot are required to secure daily water needs in areas often ravaged by storms and flooding.
