Global Multidisciplinary Design Project
The people of Bangladesh used to drink surface water. The surface water always carries much bacteria which can cause life-threatening diseases. Since independence in 1971, many tube wells were installed to improve the quality of the drinking water. Compared to the surface water, the groundwater was much cleaner and caused less diseases. Nowadays, most area of Bangladesh uses tap water as drinking water, which is much safer than the groundwater. By 2013, 87% of Bangladeshis drink from improved sources of water, but the reality for those living in coastal areas is quite different. People who lives in the coastal areas of Bangladesh is still using the tube wells to get drinking water.
We will work with practitioners of sustainable development such as governmental and nongovernmental organizations and social businesses in Bangladesh. There are seven main partners and we have specific objectives for each partner.
