I had no idea. This is really bad:

Studies have shown that saltwater consumption has negative, long-lasting effects on nearly every stage of a woman’s reproductive cycle, from menstruation to birth.

Salinity in drinking water isn't just a Bangladesh problem, either. E.g. this is also happening in Uruguay, in Gaza, and probably about to happen in the Gulf of Mexico.
