A Region-Specific Spatial Framework for Sustainable Water Management and Community Education in Southwest Bangladesh.

Bangladesh faces a growing water crisis due to pollution, overextraction, and inadequate management. This study proposes the country's first integrated, hydrological region-specific Water Research and Awareness Center, linking research, policy, and public education. Focused on the vulnerable Khulna region, it offers a scalable spatial model for sustainable water management and community resilience.
