Development and Implementation of Climate-Resilient Water Safety Plan Faridpur Pourashava as Flood-Prone and Barguna Pourashava as Costal Area: Baseline report (Urban 1)

This report documents the baseline status of two urban water supply systems in Bangladesh (namely, Pourashavas of Faridpur and Barguna [Urban 1 group]) to inform the future development of appropriate climate resilient interventions, with a specific focus on water safety plans. The baseline was determined through application of a knowledge, attitudes and practice survey, which gathered qualitative and quantitative information, including on consumer awareness about climate change impacts, safe household water management practices, and the baseline sanitary status and water quality within the water supplies. This information was used to develop tailored climate resilient water safety plans and supporting programmes, and as a baseline to monitor future project progress.
