Banik 1Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh 2Industrial and Production Engineering Department, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh Received 13 July 2005; revised 20 August 2005; accepted 25 November 2005 ABSTRACT A study of the water quality conditions of Sylhet city of Bangladesh and its restaurants was carried out to assess risks to human health. The investigation was based on questionnaire survey of restaurants and laboratory tests on water samples obtained from the restaurants, tube wells of the city and Surma River the two main sources of water supply to the city. The test parameters were dissolved oxygen; conductance, hardness, pH, temperature, turbidity, essential and trace elements, dissolved and suspended solids and coliform bacteria. The quality of sanitary facilities and handling of food in the restaurants were also examined. It was found that the drinking water of each restaurant was contaminated with fecal coliforms and 25% restaurants had unsafe levels of iron in the water supply. Improper solid waste dumping was found as one of the reasons of groundwater pollution. Statistical analysis based on Pearson’s correlation coefficient revealed significant correlation between the extent of groundwater pollution and dumping of solid waste effluents in the immediate vicinity of ground water (tube wells). It was observed that 75.69% (coefficient of determination r2= 0.7569) variation in the value of groundwater near the dumping place showed association with variation in the value of water quality within the dumping place.

In the reservoir condition, water saturation increases as gas production rise. The fluid properties of the four individual gas zones of this reservoir at the present condition and at the gas depleted condition should be addressed with proper prediction. In this paper, we characterize the total reservoir with special emphasis on Upper Gas Zone and New Gas Zone I which are compared with other two gas zones (New Gas Zone III and New Gas Zone II) representing some modeling results (has done before by these authors) which evidences that the pore fluids have a significant effect on the acoustic impedance and the Poisson’s ratio of the reservoir rock which is directly correlated with seismic amplitudes at constant pressure with Batzle-Wang model and Gassman-Boit models.

Corresponding Author: Sumon Chowdhury Abstract: Fenchuganj gas field is located at Surma Basin and 40 km south of Sylhet town. This field is operated by Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company Limited (BAPEX). Gas properties analysis is essential for gas production designing, gas processing, gas transportation and gas handling systems. This study covers the mathematical and graphical calculation to analyze several properties of gas such as molecular weight, gas gravity, gas compressibility factor, gas formation volume factor, gas expansion factor, gas density and gas viscosity of Fenchuganj gas well, FG-2 and FG-3. The gas molecular weight is 16.2979 and 16.395 respectively for FG-2 and FG-3. Specific gas gravity is found 0.5625 for FG-2 and 0.5659 for FG-3. The gas compressibility factor is also determined for FG-2 which is 0.84 for Upper Gas Sand(UGS), 0.91 for Middle Gas Sand(MGS) and 0.92 for Lower Gas Sand(LGS). Similarly for FG-3, gas compressibility is 0.83 for New Gas Sand (NGS-ii) and 0.84 for Upper Gas Sand (UGS). Gas formation volume factor, gas expansion factor and gas density for FG-2 range from 4.73×10-3 to 4.01×10-3 res.ft3 /scf, 211.416 to 249.376 and 9.18 to 10.70 lb/ft3 respectively.

Bangladesh Sylhet Combined Cycle Power Plant Construction Project (I) (II)
Bangladesh Sylhet Combined Cycle Power Plant Construction Project (I) (II) Report Date: September 2002 Field Survey: September 2001 1. Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan Site Map: Sylhet District Site Photo: No.2 Gas Turbine 1.1 Background The installed capacity of power generation in Bangladesh was 1,437MW in 1986. More than 90% of the nation’s power was generated by steam turbine, gas turbine or combined cycle power stations, which used domestically available natural gas. With energy consumption per capita of 44kWh (1984) and an electrification ratio of 4.54% (1986), the power sector in Bangladesh was less developed than in other developing countries in Asia. For instance, per capita electric energy consumption was 141kWh in Sri Lanka, 221kWh in Pakistan, 221kWh in India and 132kWh in Indonesia, in 1984. On the other hand, power demand in Bangladesh was growing rapidly, especially peak demand, which increased 13.9% yearly on average during the 2nd Five-Year Plan (1980-1985). As a result, the country suffered load shedding in 1986/87 due to the lack of sufficient power supply.

The stratigraphic framework of the exposed Eocene to Miocene sediments in the Jaintiapur and surrounding areas, northeastern Sylhet, Bangladesh, was constructed from surface sedimentological studies together with sequence stratigraphic modeling of the Sylhet trough. In this study, the exposed Eocene to Miocene sediments having conventional names like Jaintia, Barail and Surma Group have been reinterpreted and renamed as of Dauki Allogroup, Tamabil Alloformation, and Surma Allogroup. The Tamabil Allogroup has been regarded as an undifferentiated unit. Both the Jaintiapur Alloformation and the Afifanagar Alloformation are well developed in the study area. In this work, the parasequences, systems tracts, bounding surfaces and sedimentary sequences of the exposed Eocene to Miocene sedimentary deposits of the study area have been redefined and are recognized as representing responses to changes in relative sea level, sediment influx, and paleogeography.

Sustainable Tourism Development in Bangladesh: an Empirical Study on Sylhet
Journal of Business Studies, Vol. XXXV, No. 2, August 2014 Sustainable Tourism Development in Bangladesh: An Empirical Study on Sylhet Nusrat Jahan* Mohammad Ruhual Amin** Abstract : Sustainable tourism development indicates the travel and tourism designed to minimize the impacts of visitors and tourists on the places they visit, encourage protection of both cultural and natural heritage, upkeep the environment, and provide long-term means for social improvements and economic opportunities for local residents. Sustainability principles refer to the environmental, economic, and socio-cultural aspects of tourism development, and a suitable balance must be established between these three dimensions to guarantee its long-term sustainability. Sylhet, most picturesque and naturally affluent regions in Bangladesh, is a major tourist destination in Bangladesh and has the great potential to be developed and promoted as a major sustainable tourism destination of Bangladesh. This study elucidates the social, cultural, environmental, economical, political and other factors affecting the sustainability of the Sylhet through factor analysis and other measurements and provide recommendation about the initiatives that should be taken to mitigate and to control the negative impacts of tourism (environmentally, economically, and socially) to make Sylhet as a sustainable tourism destination. Keywords: sustainable tourism, sustainable tourist destination, tourists’ experience, tourists’ perception, index analysis, factor analysis Introduction According to WTTC (2014), the importance of travel and tourism in an economy continued to grow in 2013. Its total contribution comprised 9.5% of global GDP (US $7 trillion) and the sector generated over 266 million jobs – 1 in 11 of all jobs in the world. The industry outperformed the entire wider economy in 2013, growing faster than other notable industries such as manufacturing, financial services, and retail (WTTC, 2014).
