Mondal, S.K. Bala, G.M.T. Islam, M.A. Haque, M.R. Islam & S. Biswas Institute of Water and Flood Management, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh ABSTRACT: Hydrological and morphological studies of about 50 rivers in Bangladesh have been done over the last few years. The studies were conducted in relation to 188number of bridges proposed to be constructed on these rivers. The hydrological studies included estimation of flood discharge, level, velocity, hydraulic depth, flow area, etc., based on flood frequency and/or model studies. Flood frequency analysis was carried out using the Lognormal, Gumbel’s Extreme Value Type I, Pearson and Log Pearson probability distribution functions. One-dimensional hydrodynamic model was also used to generate design hydraulic parameters at the selected river locations. The morphological studies included assessment of stability of the river sites using time series satellite image analysis, quasi-three dimensional morphodynamic modeling, cross-sectional analy- sis and field observations. Spatial distribution of various parameters was then investigated. The findings indi- cate that some areas/rivers are hydro-morphologically more active and vulnerable than the others. Even the vulnerability of the same river varies depending on the location. Accordingly, hydraulic intervention in some rivers are found to be more challenging than in others. 1 INTRODUCTION Bangladesh is a country of rivers.

  • The Conservation Action Plan the Ganges River Dolphin
    THE CONSERVATION ACTION PLAN FOR THE GANGES RIVER DOLPHIN 2010-2020 National Ganga River Basin Authority Ministry of Environment & Forests Government of India Prepared by R. K. Sinha, S. Behera and B. C. Choudhary 2 MINISTER’S FOREWORD I am pleased to introduce the Conservation Action Plan for the Ganges river dolphin (Platanista gangetica gangetica) in the Ganga river basin. The Gangetic Dolphin is one of the last three surviving river dolphin species and we have declared it India's National Aquatic Animal. Its conservation is crucial to the welfare of the Ganga river ecosystem. Just as the Tiger represents the health of the forest and the Snow Leopard represents the health of the mountainous regions, the presence of the Dolphin in a river system signals its good health and biodiversity. This Plan has several important features that will ensure the existence of healthy populations of the Gangetic dolphin in the Ganga river system. First, this action plan proposes a set of detailed surveys to assess the population of the dolphin and the threats it faces. Second, immediate actions for dolphin conservation, such as the creation of protected areas and the restoration of degraded ecosystems, are detailed. Third, community involvement and the mitigation of human-dolphin conflict are proposed as methods that will ensure the long-term survival of the dolphin in the rivers of India. This Action Plan will aid in their conservation and reduce the threats that the Ganges river dolphin faces today. Finally, I would like to thank Dr. R. K. Sinha , Dr. S. K. Behera and Dr.

  • Physicochemical Assessment and Water Quality of Surface Water in Chandel and Tengnoupal Districts, Manipur for Domestic and Irrigational Uses
    International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395-0056 Volume: 08 Issue: 01 | Jan 2021 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072 Physicochemical Assessment and Water Quality of Surface Water in Chandel and Tengnoupal Districts, Manipur for Domestic and Irrigational Uses Herojit Nongmaithem*1, Maibam Pradipkanta Singh2 & Sujata Sougrakpam3 1-3Geological Survey of India, SU: MN, Imphal office, Imphal, 795004 ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract: The study aims to validate the water quality for domestic and irrigational uses based on the physico chemical properties of the surface waters in parts of Chandel and Tengnoupal districts of Manipur. The sources of the dissolved constituents in the samples suggest Mg-Ca-HCO3-Cl as the dominant hydro-facies and are magnesium bicarbonate water types. The dominant geochemical process that governs the water chemistry is rock weathering dominance. WQI of the water samples ranges from 76.18 to 155.33 and is well within the limits of the BIS and WHO guidelines for drinking water. All the samples are suitable for irrigational uses based on the determined values of EC, TDS, SSP and SAR. Hence, these perennial rivers and streams hold the potential to provide uninterrupted supply of drinking and irrigational water to Chandel, Tengnoupal, Kakching and Thoubal districts of Manipur without any major treatment. Keywords: Physico-chemical, hydrochemical facies, Water Quality, Manipur 1. Introduction Urbanisation catalyst the human dependency on the water consumption either for domestic or irrigational uses. Rivers and streams show spatial heterogeneity in the physico-chemical indices which enable to categorize the water for different uses or to detect toxicity.

  • China, India, and Myanmar: Playing Rohingya Roulette?
    CHAPTER 4 China, India, and Myanmar: Playing Rohingya Roulette? Hossain Ahmed Taufiq INTRODUCTION It is no secret that both China and India compete for superpower standing in the Asian continent and beyond. Both consider South Asia and Southeast Asia as their power-play pivots. Myanmar, which lies between these two Asian giants, displays the same strategic importance for China and India, geopolitically and geoeconomically. Interestingly, however, both countries can be found on the same page when it comes to the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar’s Rakhine state. As the Myanmar army (the Tatmadaw) crackdown pushed more than 600,000 Rohingya refugees into Bangladesh, Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi’s government was vociferously denounced by the Western and Islamic countries.1 By contrast, China and India strongly sup- ported her beleaguered military-backed government, even as Bangladesh, a country both invest in heavily, particularly on a competitive basis, has sought each to soften Myanmar’s Rohingya crackdown and ease a medi- ated refugee solution.

Hussain (ed.), South Asia in Global Power Rivalry, Global Political Transitions, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-13-7240-7_4 82 H. A. TAUFIQ China’s and India’s support for Myanmar is nothing new. Since the Myanmar military seized power in September 1988, both the Asian pow- ers endeavoured to expand their influence in the reconfigured Myanmar to protect their national interests, including heavy investments in Myanmar, particularly in the Rakhine state.

The epicenter of this earthquake was Kanchanbari located in the Dhalai district of Tripura. The present study aims to assess the environmental and socio-economic impact of this earthquake in the vicinity of the epicenter. To assess and determine the level of damage, the affected areas were visited during the first week of the 2017 earthquake. Various Government offices were also consulted to acquire data on damages caused by the earthquake. Moreover, Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (RS & GIS) techniques were applied to address the influence of this earthquake on bank erosion. During the field visit, the striking features of soil liquefaction generated by the earthquake were observed in the flood plain area of the Manu River. Landslide, with three casualties in India and the neighbor Bangladesh, and damages of infrastructure were also reported. Additionally, an assessment of the bank erosion study revealed that the rate of the post-earthquake bank erosion increased to 592%, compared to the pre-earthquake bank erosion within the study length of the Manu River.
