The project will be completed by 30 June 2022 as per approved DPP. The South-West Project-AF (Phase-2) contains total eleven (11) Sub-Projects among them nine (9) Sub-Projects for rehabilitation namely, i) Beel Sukunia, ii &iii) Daduria – Kandor Beel, iv) Alfadanga-Boalmari, v) Chatler-Fakurhat, vi) Kalidaskhali-Arpara, vii) Horai-River, viii) Bamankhali-Barnali, ix) Purulia-Charbhatpara and after care activities (WMO organizational support) for two(2) Sub-Projects (Narail sub-project & Cenchuri Beel sub-project) completed under South-West Project-Phase-1. An Integrated Water Management Plan (IWMP) for Arol Beel Sub-Project under Jashore district will be prepared under this project but will not be implemented under this project. Previously two IWMP of two sub-projects, namely Bamonkhali-barnali subproject under Magura and Narail district and Purulia Charbhatpara subproject under Gopalgonj district planned to be implemented under this project have been completed. The project aims at developing Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) system based on the strategy adopted for the additional sub-region in the Southwest areas of Bangladesh that covers 18 Upazilas in six Districts of Mid-west (Faridpur) BWDB Zone. The Districts are Faridpur, Rajbari, Magura, Jashore, Narail and Gopalganj with a total envisaged coverage of 83,996 ha gross area to be implemented as per DPP. The area may be reduced due to omission of another sub-project namely Sonamukhi Banmandar, for which IWMP was planned because it was found during planning stage that actually the area is about 48,000 ha against 9070 ha listed in PAM and DPP, whereas the selection criteria suggest that the area of subproject is more than 14,000 ha as per selection criteria, and may not be possible to be included under the project The sub-projects of SAIWRPMP (Phase-1 and Phase-2) may have some small and localized adverse environmental impact only during construction period which can be mitigated by adoption of appropriate mitigation measures proposed in the environmental management plan (EMP). The sub-project areas under SAIWRPMP fall in the “Red category” according to the Environmental Conservation Act of 1995, and the Environmental Conservation Rule of 1997 of the Government of Bangladesh. Therefore, EIA/EMP studies of the sub-project

  • Diversity of Cropping Patterns and Land Use Practices in Faridpur Region
    Bangladesh Rice J. 21 (2) : 157-172, 2017 Diversity of Cropping Patterns and Land Use Practices in Faridpur Region A B M Mostafizur1*, M A U Zaman1, S M Shahidullah1 and M Nasim1 ABSTRACT The development of agriculture sector largely depends on the reliable and comprehensive statistics of the existing cropping patterns, cropping intensity and crop diversity of a particular area, which will provide guideline to policy makers, researchers, extensionists and development workers. The study was conducted over all 29 upazilas of Faridpur region during 2015-16 using pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire with a view to document the existing cropping patterns, cropping intensity and crop diversity of this area. From the present study it was observed that about 43.23% net cropped area (NCA) was covered by only jute based cropping patterns on the other hand deep water ecosystem occupied about 36.72% of the regional NCA. The most dominant cropping pattern Boro−Fallow− Fallow occupied about 24.40% of NCA with its distribution over 28 out of 29. The second largest area, 6.94% of NCA, was covered by Boro-B. Aman cropping pattern, which was spread out over 23 upazilas. In total 141 cropping patterns were identified under this investigation. The highest number of cropping patterns was identified 44 in Faridpur sadar and the lowest was 12 in Kashiani of Gopalganj and Pangsa of Rajbari. The lowest crop diversity index (CDI) was reported 0.448 in Kotalipara followed by 0.606 in Tungipara of Gopalganj. The highest value of CDI was observed 0.981 in Faridpur sadar followed by 0.977 in Madhukhali of Faridpur.
