In the remote hill tracts of Bandarban, Rangamati, and Khagrachhari, water has become part of a daily struggle for survival. Every morning, women and children walk across steep mountain paths to collect water from distant springs and shrinking streams. Once rich with flowing waterfalls, these hills are now facing growing water scarcity caused by deforestation, environmental degradation, and climate change. Here, the lack of water means more than thirst it steals time, education, and opportunity. This is a story of survival, resilience, and the quiet inequality carried by communities living far from access and attention.
