Sediment Dispersal Process and Its Management in the Meghna
Sediment Problems and Sediment Management in Asian River Basins 203 (Proceedings of the Workshop held at Hyderabad, India, September 2009). IAHS Publ. 349, 2011. Sediment dispersal processes and management in coping with climate change in the Meghna Estuary, Bangladesh MAMINUL HAQUE SARKER, JAKIA AKTER, MD RUKNUL FERDOUS & FAHMIDA NOOR Center for Environmental and Geographic Information Services (CEGIS), House no.6, Road no. 23/C, Gulshan-1, Dhaka-1212, Bangladesh [email protected] Abstract Due to flat terrain and dense population, the Bengal Delta is highly vulnerable to sea level rise. At present the delta building process is active in the Meghna Estuary. Information on sediment dispersal processes in the estuary and their response to different exogenic and anthropogenic forces is an important requirement for managing the sediment and developing adaptive measures to counter the potential impact of climate change. Historical maps, satellite images and tidal water level data were analysed and the response of the Meghna Estuary to extreme events, e.g. the 1950 Assam earthquake, as well as anthropogenic interventions, was assessed. The issue of sediment management was addressed, based on an understanding of the response of the estuary to the extreme natural event and anthropogenic interventions, along with an assessment of the response of the estuary to sea level rise. Among other interventions, emphasis has been directed to promoting vertical accretion by injecting sediment into polders. Key words Bengal delta; Meghna Estuary; sea level rise; sediment dispersal processes; vertical accretion; sediment injection INTRODUCTION Deltas are a large accumulation of both fluvial and marine sediments which have infilled river mouths and extended onto the continental shelf (Fookes et al., 2007). -

Cyclone Disaster Vulnerability and Response Experiences in Coastal
Cyclone disaster vulnerability and response experiences in coastal Bangladesh Edris Alam Assistant Professor and Disaster and Development Centre Affiliate, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Chittagong, Bangladesh and Andrew E. Collins Reader in Disaster and Development, Disaster and Development Centre, School of Applied Sciences, Northumbria University, United Kingdom For generations, cyclones and tidal surges have frequently devastated lives and property in coastal and island Bangladesh. This study explores vulnerability to cyclone hazards using first-hand coping recollections from prior to, during and after these events. Qualitative field data suggest that, beyond extreme cyclone forces, localised vulnerability is defined in terms of response processes, infrastructure, socially uneven exposure, settlement development patterns, and livelihoods. Prior to cyclones, religious activities increase and people try to save food and valuable possessions. Those in dispersed settlements who fail to reach cyclone shelters take refuge in thatched-roof houses and big-branch trees. However, women and children are affected more despite the modification of traditional hierarchies during cyclone periods. Instinctive survival strategies and intra-community cooperation improve coping post cyclone. This study recommends that disaster reduction programmes encourage cyclone mitigation while being aware of localised realities, endogenous risk analyses, and coping and adaptation of affected communities (as active survivors rather than helpless victims). Keywords: coastal and island people of Bangladesh, coping, cyclone vulnerability, local response Introduction With the effects of natural hazards rising in terms of loss of life and injuries in poorer nations (ISDR, 2002; World Bank, 2005; CRED, 2007), institutional disaster reduction approaches (ISDR, 2004; UNDP, 2004; DFID, 2005) and approaches adaptable to individual social and livelihood experiences are required. -

Although the local authorities ignore the recyclable solid waste materials during waste management activity, a number of self-waste collectors and dealers have been performing recycling activity as a source of acquirement for long periods of time in Bangladesh. In our present study, a traditional recycling practice of solid waste was executed and analyzed in Sadar Upazila of Noakhali, Bangladesh. This study also identified a complete concatenation from waste collectors to recycling industries in different private sectors. The study revealed that 41% metal, 37% paper, 14% tin and 8% plastic of Sonapur was recycled daily. On the other hand, the study also revealed that 44% metal, 21% paper, 19% tin and 16% plastic of Maijdee was recycled daily. -
