Original Research Article Water-Logging in the South-Western Original Research Article Water-logging in the South-Western Coastal Region of Bangladesh: Causes and Consequences ABSTRACT Aim: To assess the causes and consequences of water-logging in the south-western coastal region of Bangladesh. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in the Department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. Methodology: Qualitative and quantitative techniques to analyze both primary and secondary sources of data available from the various waterlogged areas of Jessore, Satkhira and Khulna districts have been applied. Comment [H1]: Grammatically faulty. Results: Riverbed siltation is leading to prolonged water-logging in some parts of south-west coastal Not well captured. region of Bangladesh in recent two to three decades. Inadequate runoff is the main source of the problem caused by the polders constructed under the Coastal Embankment Project during the sixties. Other human interventions to river flow and improper management of polder hydrology are also responsible for siltation of riverbed that disrupted the normal course of the rivers. The consequent Comment [H2]: Causes of water- losses in agricultural production due to the inundation of more than hundred thousand hectare crop logging not properly determined. land were noticed in Jessore, Satkhira and Khulna districts that directly affect the life and livelihood of about one million people. Water logging destroyed settlements, houses, latrines and source of safe drinking water, disrupted communication and the rhythm of daily life, killed-off fruit trees and reduced the number of domestic animals. People especially women and children, have contracted various waterborne diseases, as they are forced to use congested pollutes water. Marooned people cannot fulfill their basic needs due to the acute unemployment problem in the areas. Many farmers turned into fishers as agricultural lands are submerged. Hundreds of thousands lost their occupations and became destitute. The affected people demanded that the government should declare their places as an affected area and sought the effective government intervention to bring an end to the crisis. Keywords: Barrage, climate change, dam, embankment, polder, river, siltation, water congestion Comment [H3]: ????????????? 1. INTRODUCTION When the water table rises to a height that the soil pores become saturated, thus displacing the air, the land is said to be waterlogged. An area may be considered as waterlogged when the water level above the ground is too high that does not permit an anticipated activity, like agriculture. It occurs when the rate of accumulation of water through rainfall or some other means exceeds the combined rates of drainage, percolation and evapotranspiration of a catchment or when flood water submerges an area [1] followed by congestion of water by a boundary like embankment or polder. It arose in south-west coastal region of Bangladesh, since the end of the 20th century, which creates a serious hydro-geological crisis in the area. Nevertheless, the problem was slowly developed since initially that has been compounded from 2006 [2] and a maximum disaster was ever observed during the downpour of 2011 monsoon [3-5]. Thereafter, each and every rainy monsoon season in the area passes through water congestion. Due to the permanent water congestion, sudden flood is occurred during the rainy days. Therefore, water logging situation causes recurring flood in every monsoon. The cultivable land shrinks thus Comment [H4]: Is water congestion biodiversity threatens. The situation makes agriculture activities impossible. The prolonged water- being used here as a synonym of water logging? 1 logging has caused significant displacement presenting humanitarian challenges in safe water supply, sanitation, and shelter and food security. There are areas where people are compelled to live in waterlogged condition for nine months in a year; even many cultivated crop lands are permanently inundated losing valuable agricultural production especially rice and vegetables. Socio-economic and agricultural activities have largely been hampered due to water logging [6-7]. The situation reaches to an extremely vulnerable condition for the people as there is no other way out, but to live with water. Due to climate change, sea-level rise, storm surges, back water effect, sudden monsoon downpour etc are common, the situation is expected to worsen more to the future. Therefore, the root causes of water logging and its consequences are of prime need to measure. 2. METHODS AND MATERIALS The study was conducted in the Department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. Qualitative and quantitative techniques to analyze both primary and secondary sources of data available from the various waterlogged areas (which were not previously waterlogged) of Jessore, Satkhira and Khulna districts have been applied. The tools used for primary data collection from affected villagers include Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Case Studies. The primary data using those tools were collected from Sagardhari and Sufalakati unions of Keshabpur upazila (sub- district) of Jessore district, Tentulia and Tala sadar unions of Tala upazila of Satkhira district and Sachiadah union of Terokhada upazila of Khulna district (Map 1). Comment [H5]: Several factors are responsible for water-logging such as soil physical properties, precipitation (majorly rainfall) amount, topography and poor drainage. No data on any of these were collected. Map 1: Three water logging districts in south-west coastal region of Bangladesh. The areas for primary data collection were selected in consultation with Department Agriculture Extension (DAE)‟s officials. The most affected villagers or households were randomly selected with the help of the local administrative personnel. The FGDs were conducted to collect the views and opinions of local people on the various aspects of water congestion. Case studies based on 2 experiences of villagers were done to illustrate and identify key challenges to be addressed by government or and non-government agencies. Comment [H6]: This is not enough to establish or ascertain water-logging. See preceding comment. Consultation meetings were conducted with relevant government officials (Table 1). Consultation meeting was also conducted with NGO officials working in the locality. The government officials and NGO program staffs were contacted prior to the consultation, explaining the objectives of the consultation. The discussion was always done with institutional managers or chief of the office staff. Secondary data such as crop land areas, number of people and infrastructures like settlements, houses, roads etc affected by water logging were collected from government offices, newspapers, published and unpublished reports and by consulting with browsing on internet.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1. Causes of water-logging in south-west Bangladesh Comment [H9]: The causes were not scientifically established. See earlier The major cause for water logging can be explained as rising of riverbed due to siltation as influenced comment data that should have been by retardation of river flow, as well as deprivation of floodplain (low land, locally so called beel) to silt collected. Data collected should be presented in tabular and/or graphic forms. deposition due to embankment or polderization. The main source of river flow of the southwest rivers of Bangladesh is the Ganges. The river flow of that region historically was high and the ecosystem was rich with sweet water due to strong upstream 3 pressure. After death of Mathavanga (a branch of Ganges) during nineteenth century, the rivers of that area were detached from the main river Ganges. After that human intervention occurred in the Jessore-Kustia region. The other rivers such as Kobadak (locally Kopotakho), Bhairab and Betna (which had linkage with the Mathavanga River) and the depended people of those rivers were also begun to deprive form fresh water. Due to lack of upstream river flow, at the time of ebb-tide siltation occurred and river begun to lose their speed. The silts are started to deposit into those rivers. India government constructed Farakka barrage (it is only 16.5 km from the Bangladesh border) over the Ganges which drastically retarded river flow to the entire southern part of Bangladesh. Other local human interventions on the rivers are also considered for the siltation of riverbed. River course is a dynamic process which turns the motion of any agro-ecological system. In course

  • The Case of Bangladesh D National Se
    Globalization, Local Crimes and National Security: The Case of Bangladesh Submitted by: Md. Ruhul Amin Sarkar Session: 149/2014-2015 Department: International Relations University of Dhaka. P a g e | 1 Abstract Globalization has become one of the most significant phenomena in the world since the end of the cold war. Globalization especially the economic globalization has brought about new opportunities and opened dynamic windows for the people of the world based on the notion of liberalism, free market, easy access of goods and services. Although globalization has brought about some positive gains for individuals and society, it has caused negative impacts on the society called ‘the dark side of globalization’. It has created complex and multifaceted security problems and threats to the countries especially the developing countries like Bangladesh. Globalization has changed the nature and dynamics of crime although crime is not a new phenomenon in Bangladesh. The nature or pattern of crime has changed remarkably with the advent of globalization, modern technology and various modern devices, which pose serious security threats to the individuals, society and the country. Globalization has created easy access to conducting illegal trade such as small arms, illegal drugs and human trafficking and some violent activities such as kidnapping, theft, murder, around the world as well as in Bangladesh. It has developed the new trends of crimes, gun violence, drugs crime, and increasing number of juvenile convicts and heinous crimes committed in Bangladesh. Over the years, the number of organized murder crimes is increasing along with rape cases and pretty nature of crimes with the advent of globalization and information technology.

  • Price Spreads in Cut-Flower Marketing: Some Evidence from Bangladesh
    Bangladesh J. Agric. Econs XXVII, 2 (2004) 87-97 Research Note PRICE SPREADS IN CUT-FLOWER MARKETING: SOME EVIDENCE FROM BANGLADESH S. K. Raha Masuma Siddika ABSTRACT Flower marketing has been expanding rapidly but in an unorganized way. The present study has examined the existing marketing system, estimated marketing cost, margins of different flowers of different marketing channels. Flower growers received 30.75% to 60.42% of the consumer's taka while 24.71% to 58.5% were spent as the marketing cost. The net marketing margin varied from 3.0% to 37.83% of consumer's taka. Growers used channel I most though it involved highest cost of all the channels. Adoption of proper measures for the solution of the current problems would improve the efficiency of the marketing system which will in turn increase grower's share in consumer's taka. I. INTRODUCTION In Bangladesh small -scale flower production has initially started in late seventies by some innovative growers with the production of tuberose but large- scale commercial production was started from mid-eighties in Jhikargacha Upazila of Jessore district. Now around 10000 hectares of land is under flower cultivation ( Siddika 2004). The major flower growing districts are Jessore, Savar, Chuadanga, Mymensingh and Gazipur . Tuberose, rose, gladiolus and marigold are the major commercial flowers grown in Bangladesh. It is assumed that Jessore accounted for 60 % of production area and 80% of the area is occupied by only tuberose. At present flowers are being produced per year on about 500 hectares of land in Jhikargachha and Sharsha Upazilas of Jessore district.

  • Waterlogging Situation Analysis, August 31, 2016
    Waterlogging Situation Analysis, August 31, 2016 Overview of Waterlogging in Jessore 2016 Heavy rainfall in the 2nd week of August caused waterlogging in three upazilas (Keshabpur, Abhaynagar and Manirampur) of Jessore district. In these upazilas, the excessive rain water caused waterlogging in, put together, 28 unions ( all unions of Keshabpur upazila, namely, Keshabpur sadar, Gaurighona, Sufalakati, Majidpur, Panjia, Bidyanandakati, Mangalkot, Sagardari and Trimohi; Sundoli, Paira, Siddirpasha, Shridharpur, Noapara and Rajghat under Abhaynagar upazila; Shyamkul, Kulutia, Haridaskhati, Hariharnagar, Kheda Para, Chaluhati, Khanpur, Jhanpa, Nehalpur, Durbadanga, Dhakuria, Maswimnagar and Manoharpur under Manirampur upazila) and two municipalities i.e. Keshabpur paurashava and Noapara paurashava. It inundated crop fields, dwelling areas, fish enclosures, educational institutions, temples, mosques and roads as well as displaced the affected people. Impact on Life and Livelihood 10 people were killed due to snake bite. According to the D - Form, nearly 267,511 people are affected in three upazilas. A significant number of the affected people (14,272) are displaced from their houses and faced difficulties to access safe water, sanitation facilities and shelters. They also suffered due to the disruptions in their livelihoods, communication system and education, as well as serious damages to crops. Table 1: Damage due to waterlogging Sl.

Abdullah-Al-Fuad June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad Reg no. 111 Session: 2011-2012 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository DEDICATION To my parents and sister Dhaka University Institutional Repository Abstract As homicide is one of the most comparable and accurate indicators for measuring violence, the aim of this study is to improve understanding of criminal violence by providing a wealth of information about where homicide occurs and what is the current nature and trend, what are the socio-demographic characteristics of homicide offender and its victim, about who is most at risk, why they are at risk, what are the relationship between victim and offender and exactly how their lives are taken from them. Additionally, homicide patterns over time shed light on regional differences, especially when looking at long-term trends. The connection between violence, security and development, within the broader context of the rule of law, is an important factor to be considered. Since its impact goes beyond the loss of human life and can create a climate of fear and uncertainty, intentional homicide (and violent crime) is a threat to the population. Homicide data can therefore play an important role in monitoring security and justice.
