Water exerts a profound influence on various aspects of human life and culture. This study presents an ethnographic exploration of how water shapes the culture of the Bengali Muslim Community in the village of Ahira. The community relies on clean water to fulfill various needs including production, consumption, metaphysical rituals, and cleaning purposes. However, due to inadequate water supply in the village, residents face water scarcity in their daily activities. To address this issue, villagers have resorted to using groundwater to meet their daily needs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, people hesitated to drink government-supplied piped water due to contamination concerns, and this behavior persists. Additionally, agricultural and industrial wastewater runoff has led to pollution of canal water, while the increasing fishing economy contributes to surface water pollution in the village. Empirical data was collected through methods including Direct Intensive Observations, Focus Group Interviews, and Case Studies.
