Plaxis supports safe drinking water in Bangladesh
In the summer we released our all new program, PLAXIS 3D 2010, and now we have also released a new version of our well known 2D program, PLAXIS 2D 2010. At the moment we are already working on new developments for both programs. For this purpose, your opinion is very important and we are curious about your feedback on our products and services. Therefore, we ask you to fill out our customer satisfaction survey. The outcome of the questionnaire will help us to improve our products and services according to your wishes. In return for every completed and returned questionnaire Plaxis will support safe drinking water for one child in Bangladesh.
The chosen charity project is from Cordaid, and is part of the ‘Disaster Friendly Water & Sanitation’ program in Bangladesh. In this project schools are helped to provide safe drinking water and good sanitation services. The schools of this project are located in the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta in Bangladesh. This delta covers a large area of Bangladesh and monsoon floods and cyclones are a constant threat for this delta. The enormous and severe floods are called ‘bonnas’ and have disastrous consequences. Sanitary services and safe drinking water are destroyed and water reserves become polluted by these ‘bonnas’. As a result, the population is exposed to unnecessarily high health risks during periods of flooding.
The goal of this project is to build drinking water facilities and latrines for 100 schools, which stands for 30,000 students. During times of disaster the total community uses these facilities, because the schools are used as a shelter during evacuations, which makes the capacity of this project for more than 200,000 people. In order to ensure sustainability, the local communities are trained in subjects of water, sanitation and hygiene. This theme is close to our own history, developments to support the construction of the Oosterschelde barrier, which was built to protect people against flooding.
