RESEARCH REPORT on Community Water Management from a Micro RESEARCH REPORT ON Community Water Management from a micro level perspective AQUATIC AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS-KHULNA HUB October 20, 2015 Mustafa Bakuluzzaman Ms. Sabekun Naher 1. Preamble and Background Information Bangladesh is the most vulnerable countries in the world for the impacts of climate change. Southern Bangladesh faces HUB Development Challenge due to increasing salinity, changing hydrology, climate change, complex and dynamic markets and social change that impede achieving sustainable and continual improvements in agricultural activity, livelihoods and nutrition of poor communities.HUB Development Challenge and identification of water management on the basis of priorities are equally important issues for reaching the goals of the study. Present community water management initiatives which aimed to know the water management past and recent practices in the AAS (Aquatic Agricultural Systems) communities will contribute to the HUB Development Challenge through two complementary components.Implementing innovative approaches for land and water management is the first action aimed to micro-scale management of land and water by forming Land and Water Groups (LWD) within each community which include one female and one male member. These approaches stick to a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach which lead to the definition and empowerment of LWGs, training and consultation about potential improved practices and definition of experimental plans (introduction of new crops, change in cropping calendar, innovative drainage and/or irrigation techniques, how farmers collectively managing these practices) by each group for water management, agriculture and aquaculture activities. These new practices support to increase productivity of agriculture and aquaculture, higher incomes, reduce water and land conflicts and improve coordination for the AAS community members. The second initiative is to assess the impact of the implementation of innovative land and water management practices on agriculture and aquaculture, water management, community empowerment and food security for those communities. 2.

This study exercised structured interview schedule using random and stratified sampling method to collect the number of total households and sample households of a village from the study area. The population list for identification sample size was collected from tax assessment lists of Union Parishad in control villages, World Fish in AAS villages and from Program Officers of AAS in IWMI-AAS villages. Then IWMI (International Water Management Institute) finalized the household list through random sampling using those sources. 2.4 Training and piloting The training and piloting had conducted by International Water Management Institute (IWMI) resources personnel with the help of data collector team in Shushilan Head Office at Khulna. The training was consisting of one and half days in 27 th to 28th August’ 2015 and piloting (one and half days) held at 28th and 29thAugust’ 2015. The first day piloting started at 2:00 pmand end at 5:00 pm; going to Batiaghata village for data collection. The second day piloting started in 8:00 am and ends 2:00 pm and went to Titukhali for identifying is the questionnaire matching the field or not? The problems regarding questionnaires and improving the efficiency of data enumerators about questionnaires also be evaluated. The survey team also observes here that how many times will take to conduct a single interview. What response we can get about crop economics, aquaculture, and water managementissues from farmers and we tries to find difficulties. How can we ask an easy way the questions through to respondent? After back from field we discussed among us on the basis of field piloting, we shared our difficulties and problem to IWMI. Our target was that all decisions and throwing pattern of questions as will be the same that we can achieve the study goals. 2.5 Questionnaire review and final Development The household questionnaire was developed by IWMI in English and translated into Bangla by the staff of Shushilan. Most of the questions are structured format. There are a few of question corrected 2 | P a g e Shushilan_Field Observation Report by research investigator based on during training and piloting. During training, we arranged demy interview or MOCK test for interviewer as he/she could memorize all questionnaires. Which question is not appropriate or difficult to understand for interviewee or not able to give us suitable information for better result of data collection that had tried to revise. We were very conscious as every respondent can understand and give us good answer asking question by interviewer. It was also finalized to discuss with IWMI personnel. 2.6 Field Plan Tasks Deadline Responsible Person Confirmation of data enumerators and 20th August Shushilan HR data entry operators Translate Household questionnaire 21th August-24th Mustafa Bakuluzzaman from the English to Bangla August Collection of household/voter list 18th August Md.

The sample size was 672 households located in 24 villages from 4 polders of 3 | P a g e Shushilan_Field Observation Report Khulna, Barguna and Satkhira. Households’ data was collected through random sampling method. The field coordinatorhad provided to data enumerator a name list where was containing different name of respondents and marked 4 selected and 4 reserve respondents for data collection in case of control village and AAS village. In IWMI-AAS village there was no reserve list (In exceptional cases, sometimes enumerators got reserve by coordinationwith supervisors. So, total numbers of 8 respondents given to interviewer before starting their interview. They move through village every working day taking their name list. It was mandatory that he/she used to meet selected ID if any research assistant could not get selected respondent then he/she can take another name from reserve section. If due to different complication of respondent, could not reach 8 respondents during visit at home or data collection, then it was an opportunities to make conduct from outside of list. Every working day of data collections, all RA could done 4questionnaires with pay attention. Global Positioning System (GPS) machine made use of keeping a record of the surveyed households and to authenticate the data. 2.8 Data Management There were 20 team members of this study. Each day two team went to collect data from the field and total data enumerators of team members were 14 excluding 2 supervisors. Each team was composed by 7 Research assistants and 1 supervisor. Every working day, two teams conducted 56 questionnaires. It is mentioned that each team confirmed 28 questionnaires. All types of study related activity monitored by IWMI resources personnel. After returning the field, all the data enumerators of each team cleaned the questionnaire and submitted to Supervisor in the evening meeting. Then, Supervisor verified the questionnaire, whether there any mistake or not. Data entry operators also join with us and shared their findings how we can make error free questionnaire. If there was any mistake, any understanding problem, Supervisor had given feedback to data enumerators to accurate over phone to the respondents. In this way data had been cleaned.

Mott MacDonald is committed to integrating sustainability into our operational practices and culture. As a world leading consultancy business we are always seeking to improve our own performance and reduce the environmental impact of our business. Meanwhile, many of our staff are committed to living sustainably in their personal lives – as an employee-owned company Mott MacDonald shares their concerns. We feel an ethical obligation to reduce our emissions and resource use and have committed to reducing our per capita carbon footprint by a minimum of 5% year on year. We print our reports and client submissions using recycled, double-sided paper. Compared to printing single sided on A4 virgin paper, double sided printing on recycled paper saves the equivalent of two trees, over a ton of CO2 and a cubic metre of landfill space for every 100 reams. By choosing the greener path we have been able to achieve efficiencies benefiting both Mott MacDonald and our customers. We would like to share some of the principles of our own ‗Going Green‘ initiative: • When possible we scan rather than print and consider what really needs to be on paper • We use electronic faxing when practicable • We work on e-forms • We use recycled paper when possible and print on both sides • Reducing paper in the office creates a better working environment for our staff and our clients We believe that you, as one of our esteemed clients, will share our concern to conserve precious resources for the benefit of our planet and its inhabitants.

  • Growth and Nutrient Composition on Indian Spinach by Irrigating with Different Water Sources
    J. Asiat. Soc. Bangladesh, Sci. 45(2): 197-207, December, 2019 GROWTH AND NUTRIENT COMPOSITION OF INDIAN SPINACH GROWN IN SALINE SOIL USING TREATED WATER FARZANA YASMIN1*, SAYMA KHANOM AND SHAHID AKHTAR HOSSAIN Department of Soil, Water and Environment, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh 1Center for Advanced Research in Sciences, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh Abstract A field experiment was conducted in Batiaghata Upazila of Khulna district to evaluate the growth and nutrient composition on Indian spinach by irrigating with different water sources. Water that has been used as treatment are saline- and treated water (water from a project called Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR)). A field condition was also included (control). As per consumption pattern of Indian spinach, leaf and stem are mixed together. All the growth parameters of the crop were significantly improved for treated water except for the plant height. Carbohydrate, protein, fat, total dietary fiber (TDF) and energy increased (1.06, 2.76, 0.15, 3.21 g/100 g and 23.09 Kcal/100 g) with treated water than the control and saline water while ash content (2.04 g/100 g) decreased than saline water. pH, EC, Na, K, S, Fe and Mg of the soil decreased markedly by applying treated water and other nutrients present in soil also varied. From the study, it is revealed that the best alternate source of water for irrigation is MAR water which can improve plant nutrient content and uptake and soil nutrient status. Key words: Managed aquifer recharge, Saline water, Nutrient composition, Indian spinach Introduction One of the primary objectives of agriculture is to provide the food and fiber needs of human beings which increase as the population increases.
