Bangladesh is facing a growing salinity crisis, affecting nearly 2 million people—a number expected to double to 4 million by 2050 due to climate change and environmental degradation. This crisis has severely impacted access to safe drinking water, agricultural production, and livelihoods, particularly in coastal regions where saltwater intrusion into freshwater sources is most severe.

In response, Bicharan Kallyan Sangstha has launched the Water Storage and Distribution Enhancement Program to alleviate the scarcity of fresh water in the most affected areas. Through this initiative, 100 water tanks, each with a 500-liter capacity, have been distributed to families in need. These tanks are specifically designed to collect and store rainwater, ensuring a sustainable supply of clean water for drinking and daily household use.
