EPRC identifies key challenges in the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) sector, particularly in rural and flood-prone regions. Access to safe drinking water remains a critical issue, with millions affected by groundwater contamination from arsenic and saline intrusion. In urban slums, inadequate sanitation facilities contribute to the spread of waterborne diseases, while poor waste management and limited hygiene education exacerbate public health risks. The monsoon season further disrupts water and sanitation infrastructure, deepening these challenges. Despite efforts by the government and various NGOs to address these issues, significant gaps remain in infrastructure, funding, and public awareness, hindering the achievement of sustainable improvements in WASH services across the country.
