Water Issues By Nathan Smith
97%
of the people of Bangladesh have access to water, but only 40% per cent have
proper sanitation. With a staggering 60% of the population that has to endure
unsafe drinking water, the nation is in real danger. The availability of this
water greatly fluctuates throughout the year as the warmer season brings
massive amounts of water in frequent monsoons and the cooler season brings
drought. The infrastructure cannot adequately deal with the barrage of water in
monsoon season so the water is not saved for the drier months. Of the water
that is available, well over 80 per cent of the water is used for agriculture.
