Domestic & irrigation water needs are being met in many parts of the world using groundwater, especially where surface water supplies are not available. The use of groundwater compared to surface water is much higher in north-western districts in Bangladesh. Due to over abstraction in the recent years of north-western districts, groundwater is lowering at an alarming rate. The objective of the study is to analyze the trend & extent of groundwater table due to expanding status of water demand. To assess groundwater resources of Bogra district due to future water demands, change in crop pattern & increase of water demand is considered. MIKE SHE hydrologic model has been used to simulate fluctuating water table to assess groundwater resources. MIKE SHE is a deterministic, physics-based, distributed & integrated hydrologic model, deals with entire hydrologic cycle. Precipitation, evapotranspiration & groundwater abstraction are fundamental hydro-meteorological & hydro-geological inputs. The rainfall data was obtained from daily records of eight BWDB stations; evapotranspiration data was obtained from only one BWDB station in the study area. Groundwater abstraction is assumed as the integration of irrigation & domestic water needs. The model inputs regarding land use classification, topography & lithologic layers underneath the upper soil were incorporated directly from IWM. Few input data has been projected using suitable projection models. Model has been simulated within the period from 2006 to 2030. The simulated phreatic surface & their trends have been compared with the observed levels & their trends. Finally, the model has been adjusted using calibration parameters. Lower phreatic surface & higher depletion rate is found in south-western upazilas of Bogra district. The depletion rates vary from 0.00 to 2.92 cm/year for mean depth of phreatic surface. Maximum depth of phreatic surface varies from 1.20 cm/year to 14.45 cm/year. After a drought rainfall year, lower phreatic surface is observed. However this is regained in subsequent years with an average rainfall. Contribution to groundwater recharge in Bogra district is mainly due to rainfall. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT …………………………………………………….. iv ABSTRACT ...………………………………………………….………………. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ……………………………………………………… vi LIST OF TABLES …………………………………………………………….. viii LIST OF FIGURES ...….……………………… …………………………….. ix ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS …………………………………….. xiii CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION....................................................... 2 1.1 General .............................................................................................................. 2 1.2 Objectives of the Study .................................................................................... 3 1.3 Structure of the Thesis ..................................................................................... 4 CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW .......................................... 2 2.1 General .............................................................................................................. 2 2.2 Developments of Hydrologic Model ................................................................ 2 2.3 Basic Theory of Modelling ............................................................................... 7 2.4 MIKE SHE Hydrologic Model ...................................................................... 10 2.5 Researches Related to Groundwater Resources of the Study Area ........... 13 CHAPTER 3 HYDROLOGICAL DATA COLLECTION ............ 2 3.1 General .............................................................................................................. 2 3.2 Data Collection for MIKESHE Hydrologic Model ..................................... 18 3.2.1 Hydrometeorology of the study area ............................................................... 19 3.2.2 Hydrogeology of the study area ...................................................................... 24 3.2.3 Topography of the study area .......................................................................... 32 3.2.4 Lithology of the study area .............................................................................. 33 CHAPTER 4 DATA PROCESSING AND MODEL SETUP ...... 38 4.1 General ............................................................................................................ 38 vi 4.2 Prediction of Data up to Year 2030 ............................................................... 38 4.2.1 Precipitation ..................................................................................................... 38 4.2.2 Evapotranspiration ........................................................................................... 41 4.2.3 River water level.............................................................................................. 41 4.2.4 Groundwater level at model boundary ............................................................ 41 4.2.5 Irrigation water demand .................................................................................. 42 4.2.6 Domestic water demand .................................................................................. 43 4.3 Model Set Up ................................................................................................... 44 4.3.1 Model build-up ................................................................................................ 45 4.3.2 Model calibration............................................................................................. 53 4.3.3 Model validation .............................................................................................. 56 CHAPTER 5 RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS ............................. 58 5.1 General ............................................................................................................ 58 5.2 Groundwater Level at Study Area Boundary Wells (Period: 2005-2012) 5.3 Predicted Phreatic Surface using MIKE SHE Hydrologic Model for Present Crop Pattern ..................................................................................... 62 5.3.1 Predicted trend and depletion rate of phreatic surface (period: 2006 to 2030) 63 5.3.2 Annual fluctuation of phreatic surface with rainfall & abstraction ................. 66 5.4 Predicted Phreatic Surface using MIKE SHE Hydrologic Model for Change in Crop Pattern ................................................................................. 72 5.4.1 Predicted depth of phreatic surface ................................................................. 72 5.4.2 Predicted depletion of groundwater level after consecutive drought years ..... 74 5.4.3 Depth of phreatic surface above suction limit of hand tube well .................... 79 5.5 Assessment of Groundwater Resources in Bogra District .......................... 82 5.5.1 Water balance components .............................................................................

Background Eco-Social Development Organization (ESDO) has started its journey in 1988 with a noble vision to stand in solidarity with the poor and marginalized people. Being a peoples' centered organization, we envisioned for a society which will be free from inequality and injustice, a society where no child will cry from hunger and no life will be ruined by poverty. Over the last thirty years of relentless efforts to make this happen, we have embraced new grounds and opened up new horizons to facilitate the disadvantaged and vulnerable people to bring meaningful and lasting changes in their lives. During this long span, we have adapted with the changing situation and provided the most time-bound effective services especially to the poor and disadvantaged people. Taking into account the government development policies, we are currently implementing a considerable number of projects and programs including micro-finance program through a community focused and people centered approach to accomplish government’s development agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN as a whole.

  • State Denial, Local Controversies and Everyday Resistance Among the Santal in Bangladesh
    The Issue of Identity: State Denial, Local Controversies and Everyday Resistance among the Santal in Bangladesh PhD Dissertation to attain the title of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Submitted to the Faculty of Philosophische Fakultät I: Sozialwissenschaften und historische Kulturwissenschaften Institut für Ethnologie und Philosophie Seminar für Ethnologie Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg This thesis presented and defended in public on 21 January 2020 at 13.00 hours By Farhat Jahan February 2020 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Burkhard Schnepel Reviewers: Prof. Dr. Burkhard Schnepel Prof. Dr. Carmen Brandt Assessment Committee: Prof. Dr. Carmen Brandt Prof. Dr. Kirsten Endres Prof. Dr. Rahul Peter Das To my parents Noor Afshan Khatoon and Ghulam Hossain Siddiqui Who transitioned from this earth but taught me to find treasure in the trivial matters of life. Abstract The aim of this thesis is to trace transformations among the Santal of Bangladesh. To scrutinize these transformations, the hegemonic power exercised over the Santal and their struggle to construct a Santal identity are comprehensively examined in this thesis. The research locations were multi-sited and employed qualitative methodology based on fifteen months of ethnographic research in 2014 and 2015 among the Santal, one of the indigenous groups living in the plains of north-west Bangladesh. To speculate over the transitions among the Santal, this thesis investigates the impact of external forces upon them, which includes the epochal events of colonization and decolonization, and profound correlated effects from evangelization or proselytization. The later emergence of the nationalist state of Bangladesh contained a legacy of hegemony allowing the Santal to continue to be dominated.

Rajshahi 6205, Bangladesh 2 Faculty of Fisheries, Kagoshima University, 4-50-20 Shimoarata, Kagoshima 890-0056, Japan Abstract: The present study was conducted in the Karatoya River; Bangladesh to find out the fish species availability during January 2012 to December 2012. Samples were accumulated fortnightly from the fishermen catch fished in different points of the River from Shibganj Upazila to Bogra Sadar Upazila. The present study revealed 49 species of fish under 8 orders and 18 families. Cypriniformes was the most dominant order representing 36.74% of the total fish population followed by the Siluriformes (22.45%) and Perciformes (22.45%). On the other hand, Cyprinidae was the most dominant family constituting 31.25% of the total fish population followed by Bagridae (10.20%). Among the available fish species, 18.37% were very rare while 40.82% were rare. Only 30.61% of the total fish population was found throughout the year in a small amount while merely 6.12% was available throughout the year in large quantity. More than half of the fish population available in the Karatoya River is threatened to extinct due to sundry reasons. Lack of water flow throughout the year especially during the dry season was found to be the main threat for fish species conservation in the Karatoya River.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 ABSTRACT Rural development programmes are normally regarded as necessary for alleviating mass rural poverty in the Developing World, but to be successful they must reach small farmers and the landless. The available evidence suggests that major rural development programme instituted by the Bangladesh Government in the 1960s, the Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP), has failed to assist the poorer sections of the rural community to any great extent. Although recently re-designed to provide better access to its services for small farmers and the landless, it will be argued that the main reason for its continuing failure to meet their needs arises from their variable access to land and other private resources which to-gether limit the advantages to be acquired from the goods and services provided under the IRDP.
