Purpose Bangladesh is one of the most disaster‐prone countries in world. Natural disasters adversely affect country's economy and deter its development. Thus preparedness for disasters, along with effective prevention mitigation measures, imperative sustainable development country. The purpose this paper to examine present state disaster country special attention more frequent damaging – flood cyclone. Design/methodology/approach A detailed study effects natural institutional setting was...
After more than a decade of meeting the designated objective increasing productivity in agriculture, South West coastal polders Bangladesh have ended up as different man-made disasters. The failure to deliver intended outcome is basically attributed lack understanding their hydro-morphological characteristics, inadequacy operation and maintenance, take into account social relationship culture roles. Changes socioeconomic settings also forced changes functions polders, but now emerging...
The southwest coastal delta of Bangladesh is not only geographically home to a dynamic interplay between land and water, fresh surface water saline tides, but also contentious debates on flood management policy. It has been argued that dealing with floods in this region boils down adopting either open or closed approaches. This paper longitudinally structures the open-or-closed debate based number emblematic projects region. Departing from typical wetland history, river polder embankments...
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...
Abstract Open‐source, satellite‐based digital elevation models (DEMs) are widely used for flood modeling. However, studies on effectiveness of these DEMs in depicting local‐level processes limited. This study generated a high‐resolution terrain model (DTM) based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry and two‐dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic (HEC‐RAS) to simulate the floodplain environment Jamuna River northern Bangladesh. The few was also compared with this DTM by using same model. Field...
This paper examines the implications of urbanization for water security and human health well-being in four peri-urban South Asian locations, namely Khulna Bangladesh, Kathmandu Nepal, Gurgaon Hyderabad India. It describes process access communities peripheral areas cities. further discusses this residents.
The article analyzes Tidal River Management in Bangladesh from a social learning perspective. Four cases were investigated using participatory assessment. Knowledge acquisition through transformations the process was explored as an intended outcome. study finds that occurred more prominently at individual stakeholder level and less collective level. For to be responsive sustainable, especially times of increased uncertainty climate vulnerability, attention needs paid coordination...
ABSTRACT Water quality parameters (WQPs) are an important aspect of a significant role in addressing the issue aquatic animals and human health hazards. There is increasing concern that some microplastics (MPs) being disadvantaged directly affected by organisms potential risks. Research has consistently shown physiochemical lacking Surma River. This study examines seasonal fluctuations water toxicology effects MPs on freshwater ecosystems Data were gathered from three locations during...
Despite its complexity and importance in managing water resources populous deltas, especially tidal areas, literatures on rivers their land use linkage connection to quality pollution are rare. Such information is of prior need for Integrated Water Resource Management scarce climate change vulnerable regions, such as the southwestern coast Bangladesh. Using indices multivariate analysis, we present here signatures a dying river due anthropogenic perturbation. Correlation matrix, hierarchical...
Coastal communities in Bangladesh are at great risk due to frequent cyclones and cyclone induced storm-surges, which damages inland marine resource systems. In the present research, seven marginal livelihood groups including Farmers, Fisherman, Fry (shrimp) collectors, Salt farmers, Dry fishers, Forest extractors, Daily wage labourers identified be extremely affected by storm- surges coastal area of Bangladesh. A security model was developed investigate status system a participatory...
Abstract The Ganges-Brahmaputra (GB) delta is one of the most disaster-prone areas in world due to a combination high population density and exposure tropical cyclones, floods, salinity intrusion other hazards. Due complexity natural deltaic processes human influence on these processes, structural solutions like embankments are inadequate their own for effective hazard mitigation. This article examines nature-based (NbSs) as complementary or alternative approach managing hazards GB delta. We...
Abstract This article analyzes the history and dynamics of conflict cooperation in a local regional delta management system focusing on tidal river (TRM). TRM was formally implemented through participatory approach since early 2000 to address waterlogging problems southwest Bangladesh. There have been, still are, serious difficulties achieving full potential because multistakeholder processes (MSPs) are not effectively sustained. One major cause ineffective MSPs is incompetent dealing with...
This paper applies an Adaptation Tipping Point (ATP) approach for the assessment of vulnerability to flooding in city Dhaka, Bangladesh. A series rigorous modelling exercises fluvial and pluvial was conducted identify critical ATPs physical system, under both existing proposed flood risk management strategies, different urban climate change scenarios. But a standalone system’s is insufficient gain complete understanding risks; community resilience also depends on people’s adaptability...
Background Bangladesh’s islands, because of their geographical location, frequently encounter crises like floods and river erosion, which pose significant threats to the residents’ well-being livelihoods. To delve into effects these disasters on livelihood healthcare challenges, a mixed-method study was undertaken in riverine-island near major Bangladesh. Methodology Between February 15th 28th, 2023, cross-sectional conducted an island The quantitative method involved conducting survey 442...
In Bangladesh, participation discourse has officially become part of the objectives government and international agencies for water management projects since mid-1990s. At same historical timeframe, originating from indigenous knowledges Tidal River Management (TRM) been formalized as a less structural more natural intervention to prevent severe water-logging in South-west region Bangladesh delta. It theoretically constituted form delta system involving local community groups with...
Adaptation tipping points (ATPs) refer to the situation where a policy or management strategy is no longer sufficient, and adjustments alternative policies/strategies have be considered. In developed countries, main focus of research has been on characterising occurrence ATPs in face slow variables like climate change. developing system characteristics that lead are more uncertain typically comprise combination drivers. It well recognised policies strategies often shifted wake extreme events...
Delta communities worldwide are facing a multitude of challenges in their life and livelihood. In many developing countries, improving the quality livelihood is key challenge. While development central goal delta planning such effectiveness challenged by uncertain changes climate socio-economy. Bangladesh (one countries) moving towards adaptive management approach to deal with uncertainties. Historical examples illustrate that Community Livelihood Adaptation (CLA) can critically influence...
