Identification of the Impact of Climate Variability and Environmental Hazards in Water Supply Systems: Baseline survey report (Urban 2)

This baseline survey was conducted in four Pourashavas in Bangladesh (namely, Birampur, Cox’s Bazar, Naogaon and Ullahpara [Urban 2 group]) to provide an understanding of the existing water supply systems and current consumer practices, and how this may be impacted based on climate projections, to inform future development of urban climate resilient WSPs in these vulnerable Pourashavas. The assessment consisted of an in-depth review of the urban water supply systems, water quality sampling/analysis alongside a knowledge, attitudes and practice survey to determine current consumer practices and awareness with regards to safe water collection, storage and handling.
