Rural and mountainous areas increasingly exposed to climate related hazards, including recurrent droughts and floods. These events contribute to aquifer depletion, water contamination, and limited access to safe drinking water. During the 2016 drought, 37 percent of households reported water shortages. Climate projections indicate more frequent and intense heatwaves and droughts, with significant impacts on water availability, hygiene, and public health. Limited access to water and sanitation particularly affects women, children, schools, and health facilities.
