Journalist: Since my childhood For more than forty-five years.
Journalist: That's a pretty long time indeed. could you please tell us how people used to get water for their everyday use when you were a child?
Mrs Sharif: Well we used to have water supplied by the Dhaka WASA in those days also but many houses had wells too. Besides there used to be many ponds in the neighbourhood where people used to bathe wash clothes and take water from, for their household use. Hence didn't use to be so many people in Dhaka in those days so there wasn't a very big demand for the supply of water.
