Climate change contributes to a rise in salinity levels the coastal regions of Bangladesh, notably impacting agricultural productivity. Therefore, crop-level adaptation strategies against are crucial increase In this study, our objective is explore farm-level climate change-induced south-central area considering farmers' perception and ingress as well their strategies. Subsequently, we compare findings with climatic data acquired from secondary sources. The study was partitioned into three...

The southwest coastal region of Bangladesh, being under tidal influence and dependent on sweet water supplies from upstream, has a unique brackish ecosystem. region, having vast low-lying areas enclosed by man-made polders, is considered to be highly vulnerable climate change induced hazards. In this study, linear trends in hydro-climatic variables, such as temperature, rainfall, sunshine, humidity, inflow level the are assessed using secondary data following both parametric nonparametric...

Farmers in the lower Bengal Delta around city of Khulna, Bangladesh, are particularly vulnerable to hydro-climatic variability. Phenomena such as heavy rain, drought and salt intrusion increasingly affect their crop production, with far-reaching socio-economic environmental impacts. Reliable information service received a timely manner could help farmers improve responses variability, thus improving agricultural decision-making. However, significant challenges persist regarding uptake role...

Farmers in the Bengal Delta are confronted with increasing hydroclimatic risks due to climate variability and change. The co-production of information services that address farmers' needs could potentially assist farmers climate-sensitive decision-making managing their risks. This study aims investigate how through forecast visualization communication has improved uptake for smallholder farmers. We applied a farmer field school approach communicating visual diagrams 7-day, 14-day, seasonal...

Access to reliable and skillful Climate Information Service (CIS) is crucial for smallholder farmers in Bangladesh mitigate the impacts of rainfall variability extremes. This study aims systematically evaluate performance CIS providing Scientific Forecast (SF) Local (LF) smallholders Bangladesh. The results were then compared with farmers' perceptions forecast accuracy. Additionally, skill a simple hybrid (HF), which an integrated system SF LF, was assessed using ERA5 ground observation...

Among technological adaptation options, climate information services (CIS) offers high potential as a means to offset change impacts and build resilience in farming areas of developing countries. This study explores the CIS, by investigating case participatory CIS development Lower Ganges Delta Bangladesh. Specifically, we examined value farmers attached co-developed decision support tool price were willing pay for subscriptions. Based on hypothetical market used contingent valuation with...

Hydroclimatic information services are vital for sustainable agricultural practices in deltas. They advance adaptation of farmers that lead to better economic benefit through increased yields, reduced production costs, and minimized crop damage. This research explores the hydroclimatic needs by addressing (1) what kind is needed periurban delta farmers, (2) whether have any temporal dimension changes with time following capacity building during coproduction services. Results reveal...

Rice farmers in coastal Bangladesh are severely affected by climate change. Climate variability and change impact crop production numerous ways, including changing occurrences of different rice diseases. Weather information services (WCIS) can assist improving agricultural decision-making, relation to disease management. Currently, however, have limited access accurate, timely, location-specific on weather climate. To design actionable services, it is important know the types that need. With...

<p>Rural households and farming communities in developing economies of the global South are increasingly their agricultural operations becoming more (urban) market oriented. Growing higher value crops is essential for further development. However, climate weather-related risks also growing which reduces productivity. A vital adaptation strategy to become better informed about weather variability change.</p><p>Planning activities (e.g. choice crops,...

<p>Water for agriculture in peri-urban areas is vital to safeguard sustainable food production. Due the dynamics of urbanization deltas as well climate change, water availability (too much, not enough, too late or early) becoming erratic and farmers cannot rely only on their own experience anymore agricultural decision-making. The WaterApps project develops tailor made weather information services with urbanizing Accra, Ghana Khulna, Bangladesh improve security contribute...

Major ion chemistry of rain water from a selected area has been determined. The rainwater is slightly acidic as in the case with waters globally. All major cations and anions are present delectable amount. HCO3- dominant anion study its concentration generally decreases subsequent showers. Such decrease also noticed other anions. influence seawater quite significant study. Although at beginning first rainfall event, bicarbonate predominates, gradually diminishes passage time, but sometimes...

Access to reliable and skillful weather information could assist smallholder farmers in Bangladesh reduce their vulnerability rainfall variability extremes. The available forecast information, however, is still limited the provision of daily location-specific for Bangladesh. Because this reason, use local forecasts a more favorable affordable way accessing many low-latitude developing countries. In WATERAPPscale project, we have initiated climate service that provides timely smallholders...
