Local People's Access to Safe Drinking Water : A Case Study at Bagerhat

The coastal areas of Bangladesh, with near flat topography and location at the tip of “funnel-shaped” Bay of Bengal, are susceptible to salinity intrusion and are also frequently visited by natural calamities like floods-cyclones-tsunamis which is making the drinking water sources in those regions unsuitable for the use of the people inhabiting there. Bagerhat is one of such coastal areas of Bangladesh where high salinity in drinking water is a widespread and catastrophic problem that adversely affects people‟s lives also. The goal of the study was to explore the drinking water sources at Bagerhat and assess local people‟s adjustment to it.
