3. Steps for Adoption of Technology

because of their financial condition, it is really tough for them to look into other matter okay, so it is a kind of background risk. Also, there are other factors people identified, these are lack of education, distrust and distrust in government agencies and NGOs.

In this segment, we learn that people face significant challenges in securing clean drinking water—mainly due to their financial constraints. These limitations prevent them from prioritizing issues like adopting new water technologies. Additionally, there are social challenges like lack of education and deep-seated distrust in agencies tasked with improving water accessibility, such as NGOs and government bodies.

Imagine a family living in a low-income neighborhood where their main concern is putting food on the table. They hear about new water technology that could improve their lives, but they dismiss it as impossible because their priority is survival. Furthermore, if they’ve been misinformed before, like being told previous solutions were harmful, they might feel reluctant to trust new suggestions.

Some people coming with accepting that challenge, coming with a very innovative idea, a very innovative idea and very simple. They said hey, come on we have plenty of water actually, numerous stamps in the sky for safe drinking water.

This part introduces the idea of rainwater harvesting as an innovative solution for water scarcity. The innovative thinkers recognize that there’s actually an abundance of water available from rainfall, which can be harnessed for household use. They present rainwater as a safe alternative to contaminated surface water, driving home the point that with simple technology, access to clean water can improve dramatically.

Think of a sponge soaking up a small puddle after it rains. Just as that sponge collects water, the innovative technology proposed utilizes rooftops and simple storage tanks to collect rainwater, ensuring families have a dependable supply of drinking water without the need for costly pipelines or extensive infrastructure.

The challenge is therefore to solve the drinking water risk in Bangladesh, you need to install many, many, many, many so, this is our challenge so, how we can recover from this how, we can promote these rainwater harvesting.

While rainwater harvesting sounds promising, it also presents challenges in widespread implementation. The section stresses the need for many installations of rainwater tanks to effectively address the drinking water crisis in Bangladesh. Thus, planners and practitioners are tasked with finding practical solutions to promote these installations to mitigate water scarcity risks.

Imagine a community where every household is encouraged to plant a tree. While one tree is nice, if everyone plants a tree, the community becomes greener and more sustainable. Similarly, just installing a few rainwater tanks won’t help address the broader water issue; an extensive collective effort is needed.

people would like to collect information, how they can collect information about this tank, this person? He can collect it; one is through hearing, right another, he can collect from listening or hearing from others.

To adopt the new rainwater tank technology, it is essential that prospective users gather information first. People should learn about the technology through various sources, including discussions with friends or observations of existing installations. This information helps reduce uncertainty about the effectiveness and utility of the new technology, making the decision to adopt it easier.

Just like a student would talk to others before choosing a pre-school for their child, individuals need to hear from others or observe how the rainwater tank works before feeling confident about making the switch. This shared feedback helps normalize the new technology and reduces apprehension.

But knowledge immediately does not lead to adaptation; no, no, it takes time. Before making adoption decisions, we need to have decision persuasions and decision questions.

This chunk highlights that merely having knowledge about the rainwater tank technology does not directly result in its adoption. After acquiring knowledge, potential users go through a reflective process that involves persuasions about the technology’s benefits, as well as broaching any concerns or ‘decision questions’ about using the technology in their specific context.

Consider someone who learns about a new smartphone. They might know all its features but need time to decide if it's worth the investment based on their own situation, such as compatibility with their current devices, cost, and what benefits it offers them compared to what they already have.
