Rezwan Siddiqui - Working Groups

Urban Health Working Group

This group is working on to study impact of the the Dasherkandi Sewage Treatment Plant's on Public Health, Economy, and Environment

This project significantly reduced water pollution in downtown Dhaka, enhancing the quality of life for local residents
Villagers from Dasherkandi have expressed their delight and gratitude since the DSTP became operational.
Local people reported better water quality, noting that they can now swim in it and use it for household purposes
Some reported that they are experiencing skin allergies and issues with fish farming and attributed these problems to the treated water.
Additionally, residents mentioned a bad smell from smoke produced by burning sewage.
We also learned that some cattle died after eating grass near the water body, though it's unclear if the water or another factor caused their deaths.
Previously, the land was used for agriculture, which is no longer possible, but the project has created new job opportunities for local youth, who are pleased with these changes.
