People In Rural Bangladesh Need Safe Water Country: Bangladesh Region: Dhaka Number of beneficiaries: 5,550 Total Project Cost: $60,000 A woman using pond water for household purposes in KaKaliakair Upazila, Bangladesh. Current Water Situation Over the last four years, WaterPartners has partnered with the Village Education Resource Centre in Bangladesh to build new water points and latrines and mobilize and train community members to manage their new services. For two years, WaterPartners has funded VERC’s initiative to increase access to safe water and improved sanitation among rural households in northern Bangladesh. Over 6,000 people in this impoverished and difficult- to-serve area have gained access to new water points, community or household latrines, and/or hygiene education from the initiative. WaterPartners and VERC would like to build on this success by extending the program to nearby villages within the district. The location of the project to be implemented is three Unions of Kaliakair Upazila situated in Gazipur district under the Dhaka division of Bangladesh—Atabaha, Dhaljora and Sree- faltali. Approximately 56,365 households with 267,003 people inhabit the area. People are mostly poor even by Bangladeshi standards – household income is below the national av- erage of $150/month. High prevalence of water-borne disease causes vulnerability to fre- quent ailments year-round. This three-year project will benefit 5,550 people by providing: • 45 new water points. • Repairs or re-construction of 111 existing water points. • Sanitary facilities at key locations. • Community-organizing and hygiene education. A procession of children in Kandapur village recite a chant they learned from VERC about the importance of safe water and sanitation. .

ISODATA clustering as well supervised classification based on parallelepiped and maximum likelihood has been used to classify the dominant features such as green crops, forest vegetation, urban/built up areas and water bodies. The study has been complimented with GIS for inclusion of the settlement areas and features which could not be captured by 30 m resolution Landsat image us- ing the aerial and google imagery. This has been done on the screen digitization. The analyzed image of 1973 showed only 15 hectares of built up areas, but in 1989 and 2014 a rapid increase of urbanization has been detected.

Present Status, Problems and Prospect of Fish Farming at Gazipur Sadar Upazila in Bangladesh M Das1, MR Islam1*, T Akter1, AQMR Kawser1, MN Mondal2
Progressive Agriculture 29 (1): 53-63, 2018 ISSN: 1017 - 8139 Present status, problems and prospect of fish farming at Gazipur Sadar upazila in Bangladesh M Das1, MR Islam1*, T Akter1, AQMR Kawser1, MN Mondal2 1Depatment of Aquaculture; 2Department of Fisheries Management, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur 1706, Bangladesh Abstract The present study was conducted to reveal the present scenario, problems and the prospect of fish farming of Gazipur Sadar upazila Bangladesh. The primary data were collected through field survey, questionnaire interview and focus group discussion from the fish farmers of several villages and urban areas of the upazila. Secondary data were collected from the Department of Fisheries and aquaculture extension section. Gazipur Sadar upazila has 14462.42 ha potential fisheries resources of which floodplains, seasonal water bodies, and ponds comprise 71.01%, 13.04%, and 8.57%, respectively. The total fish production of the upazila in 2016-17 was 14492.7 MT, 27% of the Gazipur district. The highest fish production of 5436 MT and 4.39 MT/ha/year came from the pond sector. Among different pond culture systems, the semi-intensive system had the highest fish production output (2826 MT). Exotic carps were the highest produced fish in the ponds. However, in spite of comprising a huge proportion of seasonal floodplains the fish production from this sector was only 0.42 MT/ha/year in 2016-2017. This indicates the poor utilization of inland open water resources for fish production in the study area. The major areas were identified to improve the existing pond fish farming situation were access to low-interest loan, quality seed, supply of advanced technologies, need-based training, and marketing facilities.

SAWA PGD Fellow : Umme Fatima Romana Afroj Institution : IWFM, BUET Designation : Title : Effect of Water Pricing in Minor Irrigation on the Water Use by the Farmers Email : Water pricing policy, as a strategy for water demand management, aims at water conservation and consequently increases water productivity in agriculture. In this study an attempt was made to understand why a certain pricing system has been adopted by the farmers and pump owners and how this pricing system affected the on-farm water use by the farmers and the water productivity. The study was conducted in 11 villages of two upazilas: Kaliakair upazila and Gazipur Sadar upazila of Gazipur district during the Boro season of 2009. Eight DTWs were selected of which four were under an area based pricing system and four were under a time based pricing system. Eight STWs were selected of which two were under an area based pricing system, two were under a time based pricing system and four were under a diesel based pricing system. The study has been conducted on the basis of both qualitative and quantitative data as per requirements of the study. Field measurements of water status were taken to know about on-farm water use by the farmers. PRA tools were applied to collect the primary data on use of energy (electricity or diesel), operating hours, costs and benefits, choice of pricing systems of different schemes, etc. Using FAO software CROPWAT (FAO, 1998) reference crop evapotranspiration (ETO) was calculated to find out the crop water requirement and subsequently water use efficiency. The results of the study show that irrespective of the type of scheme (STW or DTW), water use and water use efficiency depend upon the type of the farm (high land or low land) and pricing system.
