September 4, 2023, Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh: A woman collects drinking water from a deep tubewell on a street in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Safe drinking water is a regular crisis in the downtown areas of the city. About 80% of Dhaka city’s total water demands are met through groundwater extraction with groundwater levels depleting at a rate of 2-3 meters per year, quickly exhausting this resource. It poses a severe threat, leading to reduced access to clean drinking water, increased water-related health risks, and potential socioeconomic challenges stemming from water scarcity. Out of Bangladesh's population of 170 million people, 41% lack access to a reliable, safely managed source of water. (Credit Image: © Joy Saha/ZUMA Press Wire) EDITORIAL USAGE ONLY!
