| Summary: | Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is one of the fastest growing cities of the world. It remains a great challenge
to ensure uninterrupted water supply in the city with adequate quantity and quality round the year. Necessary
measures are undertaken to meet the growing demand of water supply which is presently dependent on abstraction
of groundwater. It appears that no further abstraction is feasible as the groundwater level is declining very fast. To
reduce the overwhelming dependence on groundwater resources, surface water in the vicinity of the Dhaka city can be
utilized. The study includes water demand and population projection upto 2035. |
