Brief

Public Health Relevance Statement: Due to global climate change, many low-lying coastal delta regions across the world are experiencing seawater intrusion and drinking water salinity, which can lead to a potable water crisis. This study focused on designing and implementing a stepped-wedge cluster-randomized trial to assess the cardiovascular health benefits of water access from managed aquifer recharge systems in seawater intrusion-affected southwest coastal communities of Bangladesh.
