Necessity of Sustainable water demand management (SWDM) is immensely higher in the rapidly urbanized mega cities world where groundwater depletion and deficit are taking place perilously. This paper focuses on present condition demand, supply, system loss, pricing strategy, level, per capita consumption Dhaka city, Bangladesh. The study founds population growth has a large influence to rise not responsive existing rule adopted by DWASA. It emerges that, increasing at 4% rate an average city...
Abstract As economic growth centres, the Southeast Asian cities feature high population pressure, unsustainable land use, environmental degradation, and large ecological footprints. It is difficult to manage health basic services for urban dwellers, ensure optimum flow of ecosystem in context rapid, unplanned, haphazard urbanization. These challenges are particularly multifaceted developing countries region. This study, based on secondary sources, adopted multidisciplinary lenses, such as...
This paper analyses and assesses how existing policies approaches in South Asia consider long-term climate change adaptation. Presently, it is unclear what are used the to cope with future climatic changes. Our research framework consists of two components. First, we identify define key characteristics adaptation policy based on a review scientific journal articles. The identified institutional flexibility, adaptive nature, scalability reflexivity. Second, analyse presence these Bangladesh,...
Artificial intelligence (AI) and big data solutions are currently being utilized to offer low cost efficient in solving pressing urban socio-economic environmental problems globally. The study found AI have the potentiality solve common South Asia upsurge efficiency of industries, increase competitiveness productivity human natural resources, reduce service delivery, build climate resilience. has assessed current initiatives technologies mitigating development challenges their for scaling up...
Climate changes imposed differential impacts on Bangladesh in the form of sea level rise, extreme events, and variability, which has enormous economic, environmental social cost. Such are assorted across ecosystems Southwest, Northwest Central region country. Among different sectors, agriculture is comparatively more vulnerable to climate change impacts. In order reduce induced loss damage, a series adaptation options have been being practiced by people at local for many years, but...
The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) is a wide ranging dimension of environmental parameters, which need to be assessed with different socioeconomic indicators view inspect sustainability growing economy like Bangladesh. endeavour given in this study examine the short run and long relationship between CO2 emission, Per Capita Income, HDI EPI. Besides, influence selected variables on EPI has been ascertained by systematic econometric exercise. It appeared estimation that, there...
Bangladesh is losing huge food production from the Teesta catchment area due to a lack of availability irrigation water in dry and lean period because unilateral withdrawal upstream country, India. The area, which directly dependent on river, study for this paper. reveals that rice Dalia, Nilphamari, Sayedpur Rangpur regions badly affected by scarcity. It appears particularly severely Rangpur, making it relatively more insecure basin. major finding than 4.45 million metric tons have been...
Abstract It is very likely that climate change will increase the frequency and intensity of extreme events such as floods, flash storms, heat cold waves, riverbank erosion, drought in river basin Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region. This could mean detrimental impacts to poor marginal people lower Teesta (LTB) Bangladesh. Though adaptation involves financial costs, farmers' practicing LTB experience diminished crop loss damage. study was aimed at assessing promising practices, their economic...
Abstract The Himalayan rivers are recognized as a reliable source of water supply in the countries Hindu Kush (HKH) region. Increasing need for food and energy growing population HKH region has stimulated harvesting from transboundary triggered conflict, environmental degradation socio-economic turmoil among riparian nations. Teesta is one such mighty trans-Himalayan river flowing through India Bangladesh basin where there increasing tension between these two Due to upstream interventions...

Besides, influence selected variables on EPI has been ascertained by systematic econometric exercise. It appeared estimation that, there...
TThe study examined the effects of human capital (education and experience) social factors (gender, marital status, spatial condition, occupation) on monthly income people Bangladesh through OLS quantile regression based data 9943 sample Household Income Expenditure Survey (HIES). It appears that both have significant explanatory power to explicate household. The suggest are superior income. estimates further reveal urban get 18% more wage than their rural counterparts, engaged in...
The study attempts to find out the types of Solar Home Systems (SHSs) available in hard reach areas Bangladesh and evaluate cost-benefit adopting such options as a green energy. findings exhibit that SHS is from 20 Wp 85 market their costs range USD153 USD479. net present value demonstrates positive outcome for considered 6%, 8%, 10% 12% discount rate which relatively greater benefit can be attained at 6% all type SHSs. also reveals 20-year life cycle reduce carbon dioxide emission up 193.8...
Abstract The issue of transboundary river management is highly pertinent to South Asia with conflicts emerging in water resource and utilization which indeed affect the beneficial uses downstream states. paper considers situation Teesta basin assess unavailability driven agricultural shock, cost loss damage region, identify mutual benefits collaboration, suggest potential adaptation options for unavailability. study found during 1995–2010, annual mean discharge upper floodplain was 707...
One of the key outcomes Paris Agreement was establishment an Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) for tracking and reporting progress countries on existing future climate action commitments, with built-in flexibility non-Annex I Parties.The Capacity-building Initiative (CBIT) created at request 1 Parties to strengthen their institutional technical capacities meet ETF requirements defined in Article 13 Agreement.Till 2019, a total 58 projects were approved by Global Environment Facility...
