DWASA in Dhaka faces water supply challenges amid a heatwave, with consumption nearing capacity. AKM Shahid Uddin cites increased usage due to the heat, stressing the strain on production and equipment. Rainfall is crucial for improvement, but expanding production is hampered by land constraints. Residents report water scarcity and quality issues, prompting some to purchase water.
