To combat the salinity problem in coastal areas, the Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE) has installed 970 solar desalination units in 61 Upazilas of 16 coastal districts under the green pilot project titled “Safe Water Supply Project through Environment-Friendly Solar Desalination Unit”. The solar-powered water desalination system produces pure and safe water from any source and has been introduced as a new alternative water supply system to mitigate the scarcity of drinking water in coastal areas. The system functions not only as a solar desalination system but also as a rainwater harvesting system.

The conference provided a crucial platform for the presentation of their research on the global stage and enabled them to transparently share challenges, successes, and contributions related to CWIS and sanitation service delivery with regional and global partners.

There are several possible entry points for improving urban sanitation in a given city. Whichever entry point is chosen, it should take account of both the short-term needs and priorities and of the broader citywide urban sanitation system. Once momentum is triggered, programme prioritisation and planning should be revisited. Scheduled emptying is a particularly valuable starting point as it engages a broad group of stakeholders, can be applied at various scales (pilot to citywide) and builds skills across diverse aspects of urban sanitation: governance, regulation, finance, behaviour change, private sector engagement and treatment.
