\"image003\"I went to Noakhali, Laxmipur, Khulna, Bagerhat, Jessore, and Gopalgonj for field surveys for the DECCMA project and\u00a0gained so many experiences from this journey.\u00a0 Among them, I can share the place called Amurkata of Paikgacha of the Khulna district where\u00a0there is a scarcity of drinking water. This area of six or seven kilometres has no internal transport. People paddle from one part to another. The ground in that area is high in salinity. There are also very few trees and the weather is quite rough. People often travel three of four kilometres by foot to collect drinking water from a deep well which is placed in a\u00a0\u201cLocal Bazaar.\u201d Every day in the morning or evening, they go with one or two jars to collect water.
