MAY 12, SITUATION REPORT 2010 Situation Report No.164 Hazard Title: Pure Water Crisis in Aila Affected Area Location: Mathbaria upazila of Pirojpur district Event Details: Thousands of people in Mathbaria upazila of Pirojpur district of Bangladesh have been suffering from pure water as it is one of the massive Aila affected seashore. Moreover, Excess of salinity intrusion and continuous dropping down of layer of mineral water make it difficult to set up new tube-well. Area Municipality Union Population Reserve Shallow Deep PSF Surface pond tube-well tube-well water treatment plant 353.25 1 11 About 3 lac 4 2920 927 450 3000 liter Sq km. water per day Table- Mathbaria upazila of Pirojpur district Causes of Water Crisis: Natural causes : Climate change causes lake of rain, and Arsenic and Salinity intrusion Man made causes: Lake of long term plan, implementation and monitoring mechanisms of GO and NGO has been damaged and polluted man made and natural source of water. A short snap of present situation of water source in Mothbaria Upazila: Reserve Pond: In Mathbaria there are 4 reserve ponds under the local municipality to ensure pure water ponds. At present, the reserve ponds water becomes polluted with garbage as there is no way to drink that water. Shallow Tube-well: Most of the Shallow tube-well’s water becomes unhygienic with arsenic and salinity intrusion. Deep Tube-well: Local municipality has set up only 4 deep tube-wells to reduce water crisis. But mineral water layer is going down day by day and as it is therefore those deep tube-wells are not supplying water properly. MAY 12, SITUATION REPORT 2010 PSF: BRAC has set up 45 PSF funded by Oxfam which are inadequate to met up the enormous water demand. Moreover, lake of monitoring and proper long term planning has damaged most of the PSF of total 450 PSF. Surface Water Treatment Plant: A humanitarian organization named Proshika has supplied only 3000 liter water per day under the surface water treatment plant which could full fill a little of the whole water demand. As it seems here that water source is every where but a few to supply pure water. As a result, people have to take dirty water as lake of downpour make it dried up almost all the natural and man made source of water. This is how everyday a respective number of people affected by water borne diseases. Source: Daily Newspaper.

Reports about the oral health awareness and oral hygiene practices of children in Bangladesh are insuﬃcient. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the oral health awareness and practices of junior school children in Mathbaria upazila of Pirojpur District, Bangladesh. The study covered 150 children aged 5 to 12 years of age from three primary schools. The study reveals that the students have limited awareness about oral health and poor knowledge of oral hygiene habits. Oral health awareness and hygiene practices amongst the school going children was found to be very poor and create a much-needed niche for implementing school-based oral health awareness and education projects/programs.
