1. Introduction

The acronym MACH stands for Management of Aquatic Ecosystem through .Community Husbandry. GIs is one of the supporting components of the project design for developing geospatial and non- geospatial database for project areas. GIs activities begun at beginning of the ~jectbut full-fledged activities started after fmlization of the project sites. Those sites are Hail Ham in Sreemangal and Moulvibizar and the Turag-Bangsi asi in. in Kaliakoir, Minapur Upazilas. This "GIs Working Documenl" will address the progress of the baseline data preparation up to December 1999.

! . ~, i The main objectives of the GIs component is to prepare baseline and monitqring database containing . i bioldgical, socio-economic, environment and ecological information; ~iol'o~icalinformation will be I collected on aquatic and terrestrial plants and animals and will include production and status. CNRS will collect this information in such a manner that it could be linked with geo-spatial database. Socio- numbers, types . :i~ economic information to be .collected consists of population and household of / employment, education, access to resources, consumption pattern and health., Environment and 1: ecological information will contain information related to land, hydrology climate. It will also r. ! i contain resource utilization, access pattern and traditional practices etc.. .. 'I ,! ( Considering the nakre of information and anticipated spatial analysis that will be required to ,i demonstrate results of intervention both spatial and non-spatial database management software are :! uSingfor data acquisition, storage and qalysis. PC Archfo, widely used GIs soflware, is using to 1 cieate vector based geo-spatial database. ArcView and ArdView Spatial Analydt is using for carrying. out spatial analysis. ArcView Image Analyst is being used to extract information 6wm JRS and Landsat images and non-spatial database is being handled by relational database management system. Landsat TM and IRS Pan Images of Hail Haor and Turag-Bangsi Basin is in Figure-1 to 4 respectively.

2. Settings of the Project Area

2.1 Hail Haor Hail Haor is located in Sreemangal and Upazilas under Moulvibazar District. The Hail Haor project area is bounded' by Dhaka-Sreemangal highway in south, Sreemangal-Moulvibazar highway in East, Moulvibazar~Shamsherganjroad in north apd west by Shamsherganj-Bhunbir road.' This is a synclinal land formation of the two mountains knowq as Balisira in the east and Satgaon in the west. Manu River is passing in the northeast side of the project area ag$ meets with Kushyara River. In the regional perspective, Hail Haor falls in Northeast region and is part of the Haor ' Basin. The regional view of the project area in presented in Figure-5.

-*, 2.2 Upper TurogYLower Bangshi (Mokesh and Aowlai Beel) The study area is located in Kaliakoir of and ~iriapurand Basail Upazila of i . Major part of the study area falls under Pleistocene Terrac?~; It is a semi-nwl site representative of Jamuna Floodplain habitats. The River Tmgdivides study area into two parts, north .i and south. Aowlai and Markas Bee1 are located in the northern and southern side of the river : respectively. Regional view of the project area in presented in Figured. In the regional viewpoint the study area falls under north central region of the country. I

3. Site level CIS Database

The local level geo-spatial database will be created for Hail Haor and Lower.Banghsi &.Upper Turag . project area. This database provides basic information on the sites thst will be used for characterizing the baseline conditions and for analyzing & interpreting the inter-relationships of the natural and socio-economic features.

Initially, the site level geo-spatial database will focus on mapping of natural resources, physical features/infiastructure, topography; landuse, administrative units and available socio-economic and demographic data. In the first year of the project we will develop baseline information. As the projwt progresses survey and monitoring data will become available and will either become a part of the geo- spahal database or will be linked where practical, through geo-spatial attributes. As these databases become available, the opportunity for developing substantially more cowunity related and interpretations for community and stakeholder interactions.

A llst of necessary geospatial and attribute database presented in Table-1 with their progress status: It also lncludes hard copy thematlc maps on var~ousaspects.

4.1. Base Map

The base maps of the study areas consist of pro!ect boundary, natural and physical features such as rivers, khals and choras with annotation, ponds, major and minor roads, embankment etc. In addition, it also consists of union, upazila and district boundaries, location of v&ous important landmarks such as location of union headquarters with annotation, MACH field offices, Japanese tower (Hail Haor) etc.. Figure-7 and Figure-8 portray Base Map of the Hail Haor and Lower Bangsi and Upper Turag area respectively. The size of the'project area in respect of upazila is presented in Table-2. However, please notp that GIS activity starts with programme area as i priority basis and remaining area will be covered later.

Iiail Haor has been divided into five hydrological zones primarily based on flow pattern. This is a preliminary division and is under revision by the project. On the other hand, Lower Bangsi and Upper Turag Baisn area particularly Mokesh and Aowlai Beel are put under two differetlt catchments. It is mainly includes Upper Turag Basin not includes Basail Upazila area of Lower Bangsi. The Turag- Bangsi area may be,expanded if the project cxpands further to the upstream. Hydrological zones and the catchement areas with river system are 'pesented in Figure-l I and Figure-12, respectively and area of each zone and catchment is given in 1'able-4.
