Abstract
This chapter investigates the challenges faced by Rajshahi and Gazipur City Corporations, Bangladesh, in ensuring sustainable water and sanitation practices. A qualitative method was used to collect data from various sources, including in-depth interviews, key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and existing literature. The study has identified several major challenges faced by City Corporations (CCs) in Bangladesh. These challenges include inadequate infrastructure, population growth, unplanned urbanization, insufficient financial resources, and institutional incapacity, issues related to water reuse and conservation, and improper waste management. These challenges have a significant impact on sustainable water and sanitation management. The study identified that the wastage of water is caused by inadequate infrastructure, population growth, unplanned urbanization, institutional incapacity, and poor coordination. Furthermore, the scarcity of safe water is also caused by population growth, unplanned urbanization, and the absence of water reuse and conservation systems.
