| Description |
Water is a priceless gift of nature and is crucial for the survival of lives on earth but remained extremely undervalued and misused one and this misuse have made millions of people, their economic activities and livelihoods vulnerable. Most of the water vulnerable developing countries are also found to be vulnerable to global warming-led climate change which would bar their economic progress. It is thus very important to understand, assess and evaluate their water resource availability, capacity in using them properly and level of threats in the form of water pollution, etc. Water Poverty Index would be an improved water management strategy for their economies to face against the climatic wrath in the years to come. It is mainly designed to improve the situation for people facing poor water endowments and poor adaptive capacity. It acts as a tool for monitoring progress in the water sector. It provides a plausibly simple process to combine biophysical, social, economic and environmental data to produce a single index value. This paper tries to identify the connection between climate change and its effects on water management system in Bangladesh.
