Water management in Dhaka city has worsened a lot. There is a severe scarcity of water in household works and for drinking. And with the management problem another problem has been included and that is polluted water. Lack of water has a negative impact on public health and economy. If it continues then the water management will also go under the clutch of multinational companies. And that will lead to more difficulties in the water management. Initiatives should be taken quickly to solve these problems.
