Executive Engineer 3 Executive Summary 1. The LGED has awarded 323 subprojects of different categories (small, medium and large) in 12 costal districts in three regions (Barisal, Khulna and Madaripur).Meanwhile; Due Diligence Reports (DDRs) for 320 (99.7%) sub-projects have already been prepared by the Implementing NGO (CCDB), and submitted to the PMO. 2. As of December 2018, CCRIP is dealing with 26 (twenty six) sub-projects for planning and implementing the land acquisition and resettlement program. Among those sub-projects, 06 ( six ) are identified as road sub-projects, and 20 ( twenty) are market sub- projects which considered for land acquisition and resettlement programs dealing with the social safeguard policy of ADB 2009. It is further to be mentioned that among 06 road sub- projects, land acquisitions are required only for 04road subprojects. In addition, PAPs are identified for the remaining 02road subprojects those who have already been compensated for losing business and other properties like shops, trees etc. 3. The process of the identification for the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) and payment of compensation to the entitlements have been started since March 2016. Thus, the significant amounts of compensation dealing with the land acquisition, relocation of business and loss of incomes are claimed to be paid to the entitlement persons by following the Social Safeguard Policy of the ADB 2009, and the Land Acquisition Acts of the Government of Bangladesh. An international NGO is called CCDB has been assigned to assist the LGED in the whole process of the land acquisition and

The rainwater is slightly acidic as - in the case with rain waters globally. All major cations and anions are present in delectable amount. HCO3 is the dominant anion in the study area and its concentration generally decreases subsequent showers. Such decrease in concentration also is noticed in case of other cations and anions. The influence of seawater in the chemistry of rain water is quite significant in the present study. Although at the beginning of the first rainfall event, bicarbonate ion predominates, its concentration gradually diminishes with the passage of time, but sometimes erratic values are noticed and even in the last fraction of a continuous rainfall. Most of the other cations and anions behave similarly to that of bicarbonate ion.
