Khulna, Bangladesh - October 08, 2014: Bangladeshi people collect drinking water from a water reservoir at coastal area Khulna, Bangladesh. A combination of tidal flooding, inundation by storm surges and saltwater intrusion has led to a rise in salinity in the groundwater and the fresh-water ponds, causing acute drinking water crisis in the coastal area of Bangladesh, especially in several areas at Khulna. Drinking water sources are often contaminated or located so far away that hours of travel (by foot) are required to secure daily water needs, in areas often ravaged by storms and flooding.
