Each policy and legislation describes, from the particular viewpoint of that sector, how plans and the rules are to be implemented. The National Water Policy issued in 1999 is the comprehensive one and quite prescriptive in terms of the way in which the sector is to be developed in an integrated manner. Bangladesh water Act issued in 2013 provides the legal frame work for the implementation of the National Water Policy.
