A large number of people of Bangladesh are suffering from diarrhoeal diseases, arsenicosis and other water borne diseases, which at times spread out in epidemic form mainly due to contaminated water. Moreover, the water supplying capacity of authorized agencies are not adequate enough to meet up the requirement of the city dwellers and thus there is always an acute crisis of water supply in the city as well as rural areas.
Bangladesh Water Purification And Distribution Co. Ltd. (BWPDC), an unit of BDG-Magura Group is working with the vision of ensuring treated water supply for the common people. BWPDC has the plan to set up Satellite Water Purification Plant in different developing rural areas as well as within the city areas. The company intends to expand its program throughout the country to ensure regular supply of drinking water through shallow/deep tube-wells in order to alleviate the sufferings caused by water borne diseases.
