Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina directed on August 18, 2009 the Wasa authorities to set up two separate water-supply lines --one for drinking and another for general use-- for the city-dwellers to stop wastage and thereby resolve the nagging water crisis.
She issued the order to the Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (Wasa) authorities during a discussion meeting when a 19-member delegation of Bangabandhu Prakaushali Parishad and Institution of Engineers' Bangladesh (IEB) met her at the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) this afternoon.
Sheikh Hasina also emphasised preserving rainwater to use for the domestic purposes.
She said these would help fulfilling the demand for pure drinking water as well as reduce waste of water and additional supply cost that goes for purifying the total Wasa water.
Regarding the growing demand for electricity, the premier said, introducing solar panels in the cities’ educational institutions could play a vital role in reducing pressure on the national grid.
