The Parched City Waits
Instead of developing a master plan, Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (Wasa), has always taken the short cut approach of installing deep-water pumps to meet the immediate crisis. Such initiatives have been proved ineffective. Thus during every dry season from (March to June) Dhaka City dwellers suffer from an acute water crisis.
