Water Quality of Bangladesh

Access to clean drinking water is crucial for health, a fundamental human right, and a component of successful health protection policies. On a national, regional, and local level, this is significant as a health and development issue. Investments in water supply and sanitation have been shown to produce a net economic benefit in some areas because they reduce negative health effects and medical expenses more than they cost to implement.

获取清洁饮用水对于公众健康至关重要，同时亦是一项基本人权，更是健全卫生保护政策的核心构成要素。在国家、区域与地方各级层面，清洁饮用水均为兼具重要性的卫生与发展议题。已有研究证实，在部分地区，供水与环境卫生设施领域的投资可创造净经济效益——其减少的负面健康影响与医疗开支，远超该类项目的实施成本。
