Brahmaputra, a trans-boundary river is one of the mightiest rivers of Asia and the 3 rd largest river in the world in terms of its annual discharge and carries highest silt load amongst rivers of its size. Its basin in India is shared by six states namely, Arunachal Pradesh (41.88%) Assam (36.33%), Nagaland (5.57%), Meghalaya (6.10%), Sikkim (3.75%) and West Bengal (6.47%).‘Majuli Island’, the largest inhabited river island is located in the Brahmaputra in upper Assam. The floods in Brahmaputra Valley are a recurring phenomenon and have been causing large scale devastations every year. However, the erosion by Brahmaputra is more dangerous than floods. • Brahmaputra Board: The Brahmaputra Board, an autonomous statutory body, was set up under an Act of Parliament called the ‘Brahmaputra Board Act, (Act 46 of 1980)’ under the then Ministry of Irrigation (now Ministry of Jal Shakti, Department of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation).

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.

Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, Inland Water Transport is gaining momentum and a number of initiatives have been taken to give an impetus to this sector. IWAI received tremendous support from Hon’ble Minister for Ports, Shipping & Waterways, Shri Mansukh Mandaviya, to augment its activities. The Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) under Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways, came into existence on 27th October 1986 for development and regulation of inland waterways for shipping and navigation. The Authority primarily undertakes projects for development and maintenance of IWT infrastructure on National Waterways. To boost the use of Inland Water Transport in the country, Hon’ble Prime Minister have launched Jibondhara–Brahmaputra on 18th February, 2021 under which Ro-Ro service at various locations on NW-2 commenced, Foundation stone for IWT terminal at Jogighopa was laid and e-Portals (Car-D and PANI) for Ease-of-Doing-Business were launched. The Car-D and PANI portals are beneficial to stakeholders to have access to real time data of cargo movement on National Waterways and information on Least Available Depth (LAD) and other facilities available on Waterways. To promote the Inland Water Transport, IWAI has also signed 15 MoUs with various agencies during the launch of Maritime India Summit, 2021.

    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.

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.

For sustainable development of hill tracts, electricity is inseparable. Like other parts of Bangladesh hill tracts districts felt increasing demand of electricity. In this paper an attempt has been taken to present the existing environmental condition and analysis the future environmental condition after implementation of project. Electrification will extend the length of the active day. Electrification will improve security (people’s perception of safety and security) at the region. The elements of the project identified as components for analysis are chosen based on DOE’s guideline. The study showed that 87% people say that they feel safer at night since being electrified. Impacts are classified on the basis of EPA’s scaling and DOE, university’s teachers, NGOs expert’s opinions. Value more than 10 is classified significantly affected element of the project.
