Dhaka, Bangladesh - 30th March 2014: Telegu is a horizon community in Bangladesh. Their main profession are cleaners and their biggest problem is clean water. The water crisis is rapidly increasing in the Bangladesh capital. Citizens will face a massive water challenge in the coming years due to a fall in the underground water level, contamination of surface water and the rapid growth of urban population. Water is an essential part of survival lives. At present around 200 crore people have been facing a great challenge to access to safe and drinking water around the world. About 40 percent of people have no access to safe drinking water in developing countries, particularly in African and Asian countries. The water crisis will be triggered in coming years while acute water crisis will be erupted in urban areas due to rapid growth of population and urbanisation and lack of civic amenities. But, the demand of water is increasing day by day keeping pace with growth of population and development of civilisation. Bangladesh will also have to face acute water crisis in coming decades. There are different water gaps in Dhaka city caused by rapid urbanisation; these are – growth of informal settlements; water demand and supply; service coverage; consumption pattern and water safety.
