Description

Report and recommendation of the President to the Board of Directors describing terms and conditions proposed for the Khulna Water Supply Project in Bangladesh, for the approval of ADB's Board of Directors. The project will develop a sustainable water supply system in Khulna city, which relies entirely on groundwater. It will introduce surface water as the main water source for sustainable water resource management in Khulna city. The project adopts a climate-proof design, adapting to an expected increase in the salinity of the river water as a result of sea level rise. The project's capacity building component will also strengthen the corporate management system of Khulna Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (KWASA).
