The water crisis in Bangladesh





The water crisis in Asia and Africa, developing and underdeveloped countries, has seen the most. Someone who has accused the country's total population is increasing rapidly. Bangladesh is one of them. Its faster than the population that the water supply of WASA does not develop. 2 billion people still lack safe drinking water. 3.4 million people, including 2 million children die each year for drinking water.

Water is a natural resource. Water can make or renew. It is essential for living people. The WASA water is dirty. Bangladesh 16% of global drinking water. But we suffer for diseases of the water. We can get a daily fact of pure water. Our summer season except by the water crisis. India is a river in flood water and water do not want to open the security wall. Therefore, water is an alarming rate. The environment has changed. We have experienced many natural disasters. It affects many of us.

water pollution

Water resources are the most polluted in the world. Although our planet is 70% water, do not use all the pieces of the roof. Scarce water resources, water pollution, and many other factors have a role in the abuse of the process of rapid industrialization. 400 billion tons per year are produced worldwide. Most of this waste is dumped in water bodies. Only 3% of total water on earth is freshwater. If clean water is polluted, the water crisis in the near future, it will be a serious turn. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of our water resources properly. Presented for the problem of water pollution events on the importance of the article will help you understand. Below is contact information to understand more about water pollution.

Water and sanitation crisis

Rural and urban areas are affected by water shortage, and both water scarcity and water quality is an issue. The gross inequalities in Bangladesh for a reliable water supply coverage across the country were still appreciable progress. Very poor, rural areas can only use an average of 16%. Diarrheal diseases are a major health problem in Bangladesh, every year more than 100,000 children were killed. Thousands of children and adults with diarrhea episodes occur every day. Diarrheal diseases, malnutrition, poor maternal health, high fertility, and biological and socio-economic relations in the survival of children with problems.
In the 1970s, Wales, about four million to replace conventional sources of contaminated water surface have been drilled. Major projects under way, and mortality due to water-borne diseases has fallen. In 1993, however, high concentrations of arsenic in groundwater in Bangladesh and Wales have been discovered. Long-term high a specific health problem, a number of diseases of the skin concentrations of arsenic in drinking water intake. In cancers of internal organs has been associated with drinking water arsenic.
However, the arsenic crisis on a personal level, the more severe effects can be seen at the local level. Was affected in Bangladesh, arsenic many interventions as possible, especially in Wales, diarrheal diseases increase, excluding the direct, negative. For a better painted red, the water arsenic concentrations above the national norm, and community members are trying to use it.of Wales, which does not contain arsenic are not required to walk. Chronic arsenic exposure reduction, intense exercise such as the effects of bacterial contamination of water-borne diseases dramatically increase the risk of leading to the outbreak. The disease mainly affects children who are vulnerable to diarrheal diseases. This pin has an impact on infant mortality in this dilemma

In fact, the severity of arsenic pollution is a serious cause for panic Bangladesh people. It is considered that the size of the arsenic problem Twenty countries from Bangladesh Problems The arsenic contamination of groundwater has been reported. It Never has the world experienced the worst mass poisoning. Alarm is In the past, arsenic in groundwater in Bangladesh has emerged as a serious Problem across the country. The problem becomes more complex by the Groundwater pollution is, where easy it can be Identification.

Dhaka Environment and Geographic Information



] Dhaka, Bangladesh, according to scientists collected sediment washed down by the Himalayan rivers, the sea to predict the fifth country to stop growing, it can. Dhaka Environment and Geographic Information Services (CEGIS), the Himalayas, the Center, the researchers said - a loose structure with a relatively young mountains more than a billion tons of sediment per year is benign, some of them are made in the rivers and estuaries up and down the land. Group, a seminar on climate change, BRAC, the largest NGO in Bangladesh, last month (22 April) to present their work organized by the impact. Asian Development Bank, a 15,000 square kilometer area of ​​investment CEGIS two major Himalayan rivers Brahmaputra and Ganges from the Bay of Bengal, during and focus. Scientists analyzed how the two rivers and around the country, climate change 1943 to 2008 changedin response. They say that the period-by-layer of the soil erosion rate was over - the new country, nearly 1800 square kilometers is about five times in Dhaka. IPCC scientists did not factor in the sediment, Maminul Haque Sarker, CEGIS idea Deputy Director, SciDev.Net pointed to.If we have a planned way, we in the next 100 years, sea level rise one meter by 60 centimeters can deal with this waste, you can use," he said.IPCC Chairman Rajendra Pachauri "," A study hasty conclusions "are based on a warning against IPCC publications before we discover what is probably a series of balanced picture," he told AFP news agency.
Assam in northeast India in 1950 a massive earthquake on the Richter scale, which is about 45 billion tons of waste is expelled to waste time on a 8.6 scale.

River pollution is a burning issue Bangladesh




Many other countries around the world, Bangladesh, river pollution is a burning issue. Has been much research and many recommendations were sent to protect rivers from pollution. In the past quarter century, the government parlayed various rules, regulations, policies and strategies to protect the river from pollution. However, policies and regulations, and enforcement of the implementation was very poor, poor quality water and river pollution. In many cases, however, seems in terms of policies and practical strategies are far from being implemented. Therefore, an active process of solving a problem rather than a proactive approach to provide practical information and can be teased. The effect of financial incentives, rewards and work to reduce pollution and contamination can be identified. Involved in protecting the community and civil society can play an important role.
Pollution of the year, government agencies, however, be a lack of success against the disc. Mean while, the continued pollution of river pollution.

Dhaka & River




The erosion of the river is a common practice in Bangladesh. The largest part of the city or the illegal encroachment on the roads disappear and natural drainages. Unauthorized solid waste contrary to the rules to create a ground clearance and settlement of the river to prevent erosion and pollutant runoff is difficult to drain, stream, the remaining particle pollution (Tawhid, 2004).
Are also not eligible voor.Sommige water use because they are not aware of health risks. Prevalence of water borne and skin diseases. Fish and other aquatic organisms and is hard to separate the solid waste may be dumped in the waste stream. Solid waste and sewage in the river run, water, biological oxygen demand (BOD) of oxygen to create a submerged life crisis. Dissolved (DO) content of oxygen per liter of the four threats to biodiversity around the rivers, as well as vertical and milligrams will be reduced below the critical range.
Buriganga Shitalakhya, sand and river pollution is so severe that it is almost impossible for people to be suitable for use in water treatment. Water and Sewerage Authority of chlorine and ammonia sulphate (Wasa) is purified by the smell of the water. In addition, the natural flow of rivers and river erosion of the river down the waste into the river. Therefore, alternative methods of communication by shrinking waterways and rivers around Dhaka city has failed.

River
